This seems to be a pretty rad club to be a part of. So here she is in some random spot by South Fork, CO.
Mods (so far):
Fox 2.0 level kit
Warn Ascent rear bumper
Gator FX tonneau
Tailgate dampener
Bug shield
Husky floor liners
Looking to add some more things and stuffs to it in the near future.
Thanks for the good talk fellas. I'm definitely gonna go with the ARB Summit with IPF 968 driving lights. My local ford dealer quoted me a decent labor price. Probably need to wait until the spring tho, my state's covid restrictions going up :frown:
Thanks for the info!
Last question (I hope), how did you wire your spot lights on the bar? Are you using the control they provided? I'm hoping to just get the IPF driving lights and hopefully the shop can wire them to the brights settings or the fog light button.
Yeah I see them enough especially when I'm traveling to CO on those 2 lane highways. That's why I started looking to replace the front bumpers and it sent me down this rabbit hole. I couldn't decide so this thread helps. Probably gonna get the ARB in a few months. Couple of extra hundred bucks...
For the ARB, did you guys all took out your front crash bars? (It'd probably look funny if you didnt) I like that you can keep the stock skid plate on, mines black so it works out.
Also, I plan on getting a winch later down the line, do they come with anything that would cover the mount hole?
Gotta hate them dickhead deers. I'm definitely leaning towards getting the ARB. Just wanna do the proper research before throwing out 1800 plus installation fees cause I dont trust myself putting on a bumper lol
Thanks for the info man. Glad to hear its solid and provides some protection. It really does look great. Seems to me its main purpose is to improve clearance angle vs protecting against dumbass animals.
I think the westin would provide more protection then factory cause it's made out of steel and it looks like it also sticks out about 5 inches or so. With that being said, I agree the ARB bumper provides way more protection. Which seems more important to me then the looks. The westin does look...
Your truck looks awesome. I really love the look of the pro mod over ARB and the price is good too. How's the protection? Does it feel pretty solid being 3 different pieces and all?
Looking to replace the front bumper. I've narrowed it down to the Westin Pro-Mod or the ARB bumper. Leaning towards the ARB since I'm looking for more protection from animals on the road and I also have adaptive cruise control. Relocation brackets seems like a pain and the ARB comes with a spot...
