Those Who Installed an ARB Summit Bumper

[Vr22s]

So I am getting into this install and the instructions are a bit hit or miss. I cant quite tell but does this air scoop/guide for the radiator(see picture) need to come out or is this something that can stay? It looks like it should come out.....
It is a bit hard to tell on other's picture builds and in the instructions.
On a side note, wtf is up with the wire harness connecter up in the driver side fender....that thing would not relent...

It’s been a long time since the j stall, but I *think* mine stayed.

I appreciate the response, Ill try to fit it without removing it.
People weren't kidding when they said parts of the instructions were vague.

100%. Arb makes killer products but their instructions suck.

Damn! I wanna say it comes out. I think there are provisions for air to enter from under the new bumper. I'll try to snag a pic later today.

The installation is a HUGE PITA and the directions SUCK! But damn I love that bumper on my truck!

So… two people with two opinions. Glad we cleared that up.

Yeah I cant find much on some things, and ARB support wasnt the most helpful.
I think I am going to try and just leave it if not Ill take it off when I do the fitment later today.

I knew I was going to run into something like this and more before I got started. But I look forward to actually using it. Let's just hope my Fox 2.0's dont sag too much after I get it installed.

I wanna say don't bother. I had an actual engineer working with me and we went through the same thing and we ended up not putting it in for a reason. I think it ends up not fitting and made it a PITA. Maybe someone else can take a pic and confirm?

Hahahaha the timing

Unless I am blind(which I sometimes am) the only thing I can find are promo for the ARB build or ones for the Non-US versions. Did see some cool looking Rangers though

Well brother here's your chance to shine, fire up a video camera and upload your install including PITA points, you'll make some other ranger owners day alot easier!

Likely wont do the camera stuff, but I plan on doing a write-up. Not my exact forte.
