Glad I was able to help! Was so frustrating3 hours and 2 beers later; ARB skid plates installed with no lift. Is is doable? Yes, is it fun? Absolutely not.
Also ditto on the instructions. Absolute garbage. Huge shout out to SklnBnz for the real instructions!
How did you mount the rear most panel? When I did the install, I was only able to find 1 M10 frame hole... The amount of excess hardware is a little unnerving.
There is only 1 M10 Frame hole that is on the driver side, there is a Cage Nut Plate and Cage Nut that you insert in to the frame for the other side then the second M10 bolt attaches through the frame to that cage nut on the passenger side. Photos below (Sorry about the mud)
My guess would be to look a little bit more appealing with the front bumper they have versus having the stock bumper.I wonder why ARB's is so narrow in the front compared to the stock FX-4 bash plate?
To my understanding that one isnt even available for some reason.
I just scoured the internet... couldn't find anything but articles, and it's not on the ARB site, at least not that I could find.
Directions to particular bumper its design by a RB 4 Ford performance but for whatever reason it's not for sale yet on the board perform the website. It was why. The other phone when I do have it the summit number is shown on their website along with stage 3 website
Probably to better fit with the ARB Summit bumper. I have the Summit and the stock skid plate sticks out too far, it looks like wings. Due to this, I'll be switching to the ARB skids.I wonder why ARB's is so narrow in the front compared to the stock FX-4 bash plate?
As you can see from the OP's first post that is a no sir. Now it may give you a little more compared to nothing but if you got a Lift(yes it matters) with bigger tires then you should be fine as long as you dont go stupidDoes the arb protect the lower control arm mounts? Second anyone around Tennessee wanting to sell their old fx4 skid plates?
