I purchased a used '03+ ARB Combination bumper from fellow mudder, theMule, to install on my '98 LX. A bit of a risk but I thought I'd give it a try. Actually, it was easier than I thought it would be. I would estimate it takes just an additional 1 hour over the regular install time depending on how well you "finish" and paint the upper bull bar where the two light/antenna tabs are removed. The two tabs on the upper bull bar need to be removed in order for the LX hood to clear when raised. This is Phase 1 of my ARB bumper install. I plan to chop my bumper for less overhang as Snook has done
here. I just wanted to get the bumper mounted for now before I proceed to Phase 2.
