Just bought a 4th gen V8 Sport last night. Came with an ARB bumper. I always thought ARB was supposed to be awesome high quality stuff. Not impressed, it pails in comparison to the CBI on my 3rd gen. I'll be selling a 3 month old ARB bumper in the next few weeks in North Alabama if anyone wants one.

Then they've changed their design from what I have pictures of in this thread. I just looked and they have pictures on their instagram of a newer rear bumper that appears to be what you describe. Must not be an easy chop of the rear crossmember if they require it to be done at their shop, or maybe they don't trust the welding ability of other's.

My guess would be they dont trust others welding abilities and dont want to put their name behind somebodies possible bad welds. They're kinda perfectionists....which is why their lead times are constantly backed up. With my experience purchasing a front bumper and sliders from them, its been a month or two past their original estimated due dates BUT everything has been top notch. I ended up purchasing an RPM fabs rear bumper, if I could do it again I would go through relentless fabrication and deal with the wait. RPM fabs installation was a PITA, when closing the swingarm it hits the bumper so I gotta lift up on the tire to take off some weight...not bad for me and Ive gotten used to it but makes it a pain for my girlfriend to want to grab anything from the back.

What is the best fitting front bumper for the 06+ style fenders? Really wanted a shrockworks, but it looks like it leave a nasty little gap.
Anyone?

Update for Northwest Trail Innovations (vancouver, wa).
They now have a rear bumper as well, starting around $490 and runs up to $1290 with all the options.
NWTI sliders are now made by Full Force Metalworks (also in Vancouver). They are HREW, bolt on and with or without kickout, and top plate options. With kickout and topplate, mine were about $300 installed, with me doing the painting. Just took 3 months to get them and they creak more than my old S10 did. Still need to get down there and tighten them more.

The gap is present on most off-road bumpers to keep the bumper from contacting the body panels during flex. Most mounts allow a bit of adjustability so if you don’t need the gap you can minimize it. You could call Shrockworks and see what they.

Do you have pictures of your sliders? That's a really good price! Wouldn't mind driving down to Vancouver for that!

Thanks for the picture! Think I'll have to give Full Force a ring since I'll be heading down to Portland next month so I might as well stop by Vancouver to get a pair. Hopefully tightening the bolts get rid of your squeaking.

No, but a lil bit of blunt force clearancing did it. The upper mounts were rubbing on the floorpans.
