Can I ever do anything easy? Nope
Well I got an 8274 from a fellow cruiserhead because I seem to get myself into some bad spots when I go up to Tellico. First I had to cut the whole top section of the ARB off more or less. I fabbed 1/4 plate mounts on the inside section of the ARB. I also had to clock the 8274 forward so that it would not hit the grill or valence but also not to far forward that it hits the ARB cross bar. I had to cut the light tab off that normally holds my Hella's.
I re-welded the tab on the top bar on the pass. side for a the new location of the CB. I am not wild about the new loaction of the hella's, Although it works well for night wheeling I dont know how much I like it visually.
The 8274 just fits as it clears the front ARB bar, valence, grill all by 1/8 on every side. I still have to cut a slot of the the synthetic fairlead but will do that when it comes in the mail.
I was worried that I would have to move the ARB outward and reduce my approach angle( I would rather dent the valence to make the 8274 fit before I do that)...But It turned out that it clears it by 1/8s of an inch.

Thanks agian Jer for all the help...
