Anyone have the installation instuctions on their computer and would be willing to email them to me?

I was curious how they mounted the bumper to the unibody.

Thanks

I dont have the instructions on my computer however you can find them on ARBusa.com. You have to remove your tow hooks and there is an actual bumper mount that bolts in the tow hook mouting location. You have to drill 1 more hole on each side right behind the hook mounts. you also have to put 4 bolts on the front of the mount to the frame. It is a really good and solid mount and once all the bolts are in it is increadibally strong! Much stronger than the stock tow hooks!

Can you email me the instructions?

My bumper seems to have tilted out of position. The rear of the bumper is somehow lower than the front so that the top of no longer horizontal. I think it happened when I hit a rock or when I got pulled out of a stuck. Not sure. Since I didn't install it, I don't know how to adjust it back to horizontal.

HELP!

I think I still have the instructions on my work computer, I had emailed Seth (ARBSETH ) and he had emailed them to me before I got ready to put my used one on. If you have the driving lights in the bumper it is a pain to adjust. Mine were already mounted in there so had to work around them . I will look when I am back in the office in a couple of days and let you know then

so I want to get the bumper higher, particularly in the rear right under the fender flares and under the headlights.

I've loosened the two bolts on either side that are hard to get at because of my fog lights. They are the slotted holes, 5/8" bolts that allow the bumper to go up and down. I also removed the bolt and nut that connect and locks in the bumper to the support structure.

Now, I have room to go LOWER on the bumper, but not higher. Can someone measure how much clearance they have under the headlight, right at the end of the grill, at the gap where the grill meets the fender flare for me please?

The fog lights are in fine, I guess. There's a gap at the top of each, but my body guy swears that's the way it always was. I just started looking at it with a paranoid eye.

Bottom line is now that I've got it all loosened up, I think it was fine!!! But I can't tell anymore. That gap certainly looks bigger.

And are your bumpers level front to back? I put a small level on the bumper's flat top and the parts under the headlights are lower than the front edge.

HELP!!!
