| Post subject: | ARB bullbar installed -- finally |
Well, after waiting weeks to get the missing mounting system from ARB, complicated by some miscommunication that led to nothing being sent to me for over a week, then the wrong part and finally the right part, my kj now has a real bumper. After all of that, putting it on was the easy part. Before: 
After (with OME lift and the bullbar added): 
Added some Warn 4x flood lights. No winch till I win the lottery. 
I know, it's not dirty enough. But that will change. |

Dirty or not, that is bad@ss! The ARB is in the works for me. I have just ordered the Standard Frankenlift I and hope to get the bumper and winch next. D@MN the gas prices! FULL SPEED AHEAD! N |

Awesome lookin KJ...but before you do ANYTHING rotate your tires! Those fronts are BADLY chopped...did you get it aligned after installing the lift? or the ARB for that matter? Revos ain't cheap...hate to see you kill a pair after 10k miles |

Revos ain't cheap...hate to see you kill a pair after 10k miles I knew someone would notice that! I know they're pretty ugly, but it's not the alignment. Before the lift, which was just recently, I was driving on the original stock suspension with 160,000 miles on it. So, badly badly badly worn struts is what I'd blame it on. That's actually my 2nd set of Revos (I got 90,000 miles out of the first set, which I rotatated frequently). I have been lax about rotating em lately but I need to upsize anyway. They're coming off as soon as I can land some Moab wheels. |

Looking sharp already. Have you considered getting it painted body color? I think that's what the one in the ARB brochure is and it looks almost like it's supposed to be that way from the factory (which is a plus in my book). |

I kind of like the add-on look. The black (or gray as ARB calls it) works with the silver, I think. And with 160,000 miles on the KJ, it's got enough parking lot and trail rash that to make everything look factory I"d have to have the whole vehicle painted. Even if it's just the bumper, I'd rather put any paint money toward more mods. |

I painted my ARB with Rustoleom Hammered. I figured that when/if I hit a rock on the trails, it's easy to patch up and looking new. |

see if you can get a local paint shop to mix you up a spray can with your color and then you can paint it yourself... |

I like the gray. Now all you need is a rock lizard rear bumper to match.

Well, "all" I need is a RL rear bumper, a couple of lockers, new wheels, bigger tires, a roof rack, a hi-lift, some jerry cans, a winch ... and this lamp. |
