Install a ARB bumper

NCC-1864 · **Posted:** Sat Apr 02, 2011 8:47 pm

Bought a ARB bumper, after I ran into a mini van 3 weeks ago.
decide to buy a ARB instead of sending the Jeep to the dealer and have a
brand new plastic front bumper.
Prior to the install ,I send it to my LINE X dealer.
Not cheap but great job.
Some problem cause ARB doesn't take to account the extra tickness of LINE X
so all the bolts are a bit short.
Took a day to install

just before it was send to LINE X

no winch for now .
Lost 1/2 " in front with that bumper.

will get a JBA 2.5" lift next week

Like your suggestion ,move Hella 500 to it's proper place,
looks much better

Here a picture of how i ran the cabling for my Hella 500

Ah, don't think its ARB fault, the bolts are long enough as provided, the installer did not take into account the extra thickness of the LineX :ROTFL:

Yeah well I know that that 's not ARB fault .I didn't put any accusations here.
All I was saying is bolts provides with the kit could be just a bit longer like a 5mm longer
to take account the
extra thickness of a LINE X or else .
But the install was easy.
Don't regret this acquisition at all

I don't understand why you mounted lights on the antenna tabs. Doesn't look good.

I say if you mount lights there to flip them upside down... then they won't impair your line of sight.

you can't mount them upside down, the bar interferes. I had a set of lights mounted on mine for a day and decided that I didn't like the way they looked there either.

Where are the "cup" insert for the fog light in the bumper? You didn't install them or they forget to give you a pair of those? :roll:

PS: Now it's mini van hunting season! get them! :mrgreen:

Nice bumper Marc,

It is almost as good as mine!!!!!!!!!1

Pour ce qui est de tes lumières, tu as vu comment elle sont sur mon Libby, j'ai mis mes Hella à l'envers, elle sont fixées à
la même place que tu les as mis avec un simple tuyau coupé, je te montrai ça.
Sinon tu peux les viser dans le bas du bumper, mais je trouvais que c'étais difficile d'accès.

Bon achat

Pour la suspension, c'est sur que le devant en mange un coup.
Je pense à ma suspension moi aussi
As tu acheté la tienne?
