The ARB bumper lines up with the stock bumper and is bolted in the factory location at the hitch mount. The holes did not line up and I had to drill out new holes in order for it to fit. Also, there is a bracket that holds both swing arms in place and that had to be modified in order to get the bolts through the whole assemble.
I called ARB and spoke with them about it and they were not much help at all. They were trying to convince me that I had "one-off LX470", and they never heard of this issue. Funny thing is...I also have an '05 with the exact same configuration, so their argument did not fly - they did not address the issue. So, I told them I would modify it as long as they honored the warranty or any issues in the future. They were cool with that. I guess they are more focused on selling Jeep products and do not address the older vehicles as much.
Other than that, the bumper fits very well, very stout, and looks great on the LX.
