I've noticed that the ARB Bumper mounts quite high losing about 1/4 of the radiator inlet. Does this combined with the winch control box and driving lights impede the airflow enough to create cooling problems?

No. I have had mine on for almost 3 years now with winch control box and lights much bigger than the average KC. Also summers here reach well into the 100s with very high humidity. I have NEVER had over heating problems. and have had every scenario that would cause it...


no worries :)

Thanks for the info. Very reassuring.
You're not Australian are you?

I have not had any problems either. I did think about that when I installed it all too...well my father in law did. I live in Las Vegas and you know how hot it can get out here. Not a single problem to date and I have hit some nasty areas. :)

This summer I am looking to hit Death Valley, my wife says I am going alone, lol.

Hi there,

No probs here.
I run the combo and Perth has been really hot this summer.
