Front bumpers: Westin Pro-Mod vs ARB Summit

[Fawnbuster]

The ARB summit

Westin pro mod


They both are pretty different

I like the ARB (bottom pic) does it allow the FX4 skid plate to direct mount up?

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

I dont think the fx4 one works with it. I dont mind the stock one

The bottom pic is the westin. I ended up going with that one but arb (top pic) was my first choice. Just didnt work out.

I've got the ARB bumper with FX4 skid plate. It works pretty well.

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.

You can use the stock non Fx4 skid plate (not so sure about the Fx4 one), but it leaves an unsightly gap and it's wider than the little deflector at the bottom of the bumper

Oh nice. Thats good to know. I guess if it left a gap like the ARB one then I wouldn't mind but since I already ordered the westin skid, might as well use it lol

I am all Westin. I dont get many deers in Orange County, CA.

Hey Danny. I have fenders from Advanced Fiberglass Concepts o

Hey Danny, I have some fenders on the way that are 4.5" per side than stock. Looks like with your stock fenders the bumper was wider than your fenders but it was flush with your fender flares? How did you get Westin to widen your bumper?

Sooo I actually modified my bumper. The Westin bumper comes stock to fit the OEM width of the Ranger. When I dropped off my truck to @APG they were nice enough to custom fabricate the front bumper to make it lineup perfectly with my newly widened fenders. They were able to cut and weld a piece in to make it look factory. I hope that helps! I am sure APG can help you out!

I really like the ARB bumper myself as well, number one choice, except I dont like the protection around the grill and headlights. (Excessive and bulky looking). The rest looks amazing.

I want this bumper but waiting for it as I have not heard a single thing yet.

I love that its made by ARB, its less bulky, it is more of a factory look vs many aftermarket styles, factory fog lights transfer, it works with the FX4 skid plate, the adaptive cruise control sensor stays put, and the price being $1495 before discounts it should be priced well the sponsoring Ford dealership lowers the price. So I'm holding out.

I really really like addictive desert designs as well but no winch and pricey.

Yeah I been reading about this but when I asked my ford dealership about it he had no clue they even had such a thing ??

Duuuude, whatever works right? And yes I like what I see APG doing but I'm in Texas so I can't just drive up and be like hey let's figure this out lol. That did help to know it fits OEM width.

haha I totally understand! I do know that the RTR Flares come with front bumper extensions, so something like that might be an easy adjustment to make fit?

Ahh yes I have seen those! Did APG weld some metal at the ends of the bumper to make it flush with the wider fenders?

I can give you a preview...

Hmmm. I think they kinda look like the road armor ones.

has anyone heard anything else on the Shrockworks bumper?
