Really like that ARB bumper. Looks great! Do you have a rear bumper from them as well? How was the fit?
I am still on the stock rear bumper and I like it, so I do not intend to put in an aftermarket one in the nearest future.
But the front ARB Stubby is a wonderful piece and the execution and finish are outstanding. The fit was perfect, as expected. This replaces an ExpeditionOne full width bumper which was an excellently built bumper but with poor powder coating which started to chip within a year and the bumper started to rust in multiple places. The ARB has multiple coatings treatment and, from what I've seen, it should last longer in the Canadian climate.
The ARB Stubby comes with light mounts that I did not get to put in yet (so they do not show in the pics), but I'll post pics once I have the winch and lights in.

Nice! Looks like the kids love it too! Every time I'm out with my RTT the kids always refer to it as a "tree fort"!

The finish on the ARB really does look nice. I do like the style of that bumper as well. ARB makes some quality stuff!
So much so 2 of the 3 are sleeping in it tonight.
Oh, you don't need to convince me about that statement.
I have their ARB Stubby bumper, ARB diff covers front and rear, ARB headlights, ARB fridge, ARB tire deflation gauge, ARB tire repair kit, OME hd springs front and rear, OME steering stabilizer, IPF 868 lights. I have only superlatives regarding all and every one of these products.
Oh, how could I forget about my ARB compressor?! Three years and runs like new. It still looks like new too, but dirty. Mounted in the engine bay.

We did Rule Ridge this weekend in Woodland Park, CO. It gets pretty tippy, but a good trail all around.
And.. I took it off.
Cleaned some rust off the frame horns and lower crash bar, then hit them with a couple of layers of Tremclad Pro.
Installed a 90W single row led bar as "fog light" inbetween the horns, made some brackets to mount it inside the crash bar. Fits nicely just under the bumper.
Re-installed the bumper, the winch, and added the lights' support brackets (which came with the ARB bumper).
Next, painting the lights' own brackets black as the stainless steel fits like a sore thumb in the whole picture. Last step will be adding and wiring the zombie/sasquatch lights, and I'm done. [Yeah right... [emoji1787]]

Finally got started on painting the road wheels (did the spare a while back). I started in my drive way since it was a nice day, but I moved it into the garage to let my wife have her driveway back for parking the van lol. No, don't worry, my 2 year old didn't fall down. She was being my helper and decided that it was important that she army crawl across the driveway and do some pushups.
I think I'm probably going to do the Honda "H" in red as well, ala TRD pro wheels. 1 coat on 1 wheel down...many more coats on it and the others to go. Figure I'll do 3 coats per wheel, inside and out.

Since you're going custom Instead of Red you might pick up a couple of touchup pens the same color as your rig and paint the H to match the body.

Came out nice but you should have a jack stand or something other than a scissor jack holding up the car...........
Never short cut safety as our brains ALL tell us to.....

Good point.
Wheel chock too.
I actually never use a wheel chock and this is a reminder I really should. My dad made the mistake of disconnecting his driveshaft on his f250, while on a slight incline, without the wheels chocked. It rolled backwards over him, caught his leg under the frame, and broke it in 2 places. It could have killed him.

Immediately after I took the photo, I put wood blocks under the lower control arm to hold it up. Don't have any jack stands unfortunately.
