My next mod ended up being an ARB front bumper that I scored off Craigslist for $400. It was used but complete. Had to drive out to sac to get it but it was still about 1/2 of new so what the hell.
Here is she is before the install:
Front Bumper removed:
A bit better pic with more flash:
Here are the removed parts. I ended up selling these for a few hundred bucks so the ARB was just about free!
Impact bar removed and front tabs already cut off. I thought it was funny that my frame had dried mud in there. And this is exactly why I HATE mud. (no ref to 1h8mud lol)
Here it is all bolted on. I didn’t bother to do write up as it’s been done several times before.
Total install took me about 2 or 3 hours all by myself.
