ARB bumper is on

[masphx]

I bought a used arb bumper via craigslist. Just finished installing it today....






I still need to do some adjustments. Need to install the turn signals. Going to go with the clear lights as one of the ambers is cracked. What is the best way for wiring the turn signals? Want to wire them so I can disconnect them easily if I remove the bumper for something.


Also I notice that the bumper is leaning down a little bit. How can I fix this. Thought I say a post about if but can't find it now.

Loosen the bolts that hold the bumper to the brackets, have someone lift up on it until it is level, then tighten the bolts. Looks good.

Looks good , I like the clean white & black look. If you do not have someone else to hold the bumper up after loosening the bolts that hold the bumper to the mounting bracket use two jacks.

x2 on the jack. I use a floor jack to lift the bumper up. I jack it up until it starts lifting the front of the truck, bolt it up, looks real good! Did you end up doing the endcap mod?

Thanks for all the comments and tips. No end cap mod yet. After the 115 degree summer passes might do that mod to enforce the bumper.

Beautiful! I love ARB and am hunting for one locally on CList. If you have access to a cherry picker, utilize that to adjust it down or up. When my friend installed his ARB on the XJ that's what we used... lucky we had access to one or else it would've been a PITA!

Does that ARB Taco bumper bolt on to our 3rd gens with no modifications? Thanks

Minor mofidication required. End plates have to be cut off in order to allow the ARB to mount up.
