I agree. I think that's why I thought the westin bumpers looked good.

Are those bumpers for the Australian rangers? They look pretty awesome
Yea

Love the ADD Stealth. Great lines and low profile
That really is a sharp looking bumper. Very subtle design - really lives up to its name. And that plate holder looks like it might also be stealth when it comes to the 407 toll cameras - bonus!

So I was set on the ARB bumper but long story short, I ended up ordering the Pro Mod today with diode dynamics light bar. Pretty stoked! 2nd choice ain't a bad thing at all (only real bummer is no winch mount). I'll post some pics once I get it installed in a couple weeks.

Well the long story is the dealership shop was kinda giving me the run around on getting the bumper saying it was on back order and stuff (I called ARB and its not). I wanted to go through them to use my ford points to help with the price. I also could just order it and get my local 4x4 shop to do the install but it was gonna cost around 2200 bucks not including the install or the winch.

So then today I found the complete pro mod set up including the light bar for around 1000 bucks and just pulled the trigger. I'm sure the ARB summit is worth the extra 1000 bucks but I'll put that towards new rims and tires. ?‍♂

Got to love it when places want to be a pain in the ass on things. But I do understand.

Yeah, I called them to order the bumper last month and they havent responded to my calls to check on the status. Oh well it wasn't meant to be.

You're gonna love the pro mod bumper. It was my second choice behind the upcoming shrockworks bumper or the ARB bumper (I've got a thing for grille protection).

But all said and done, I couldn't be happier with my choice. Now you're going to want a new skid plate. I went with the westin skid, but I think the ARB or AFN skid would look even nicer.

Is the skid plate for looks or does the fx4 one not work with it?

Yeah I also have a thing for grille protection in case any deers wanna test their luck lol. But you cant really beat the price on these promods.

Your truck looks so sick! Kinda a glimpse on what my truck will look like (also magnetic and also have amber light bar). I'll probably get the led grille lights too. Well be twins.

I wish I would've known about the skid plate as I bought the westin along with the bumper. Too bad you cant just use the stock ones. I like those.
