Question for you... I would love to bite the bullet on an ARB front bumper, but I have a question... The lower guards/skids looking plate on either side of the bumper, are they necessary? I am really opposed to how most front bumpers for IFS trucks make the front end look like a boat. Yes, I am less worried about cutting fenders than I am about looking like jonboat. Call me vain...
Not vain at all to ask, I'm picky about all sorts of stuff. They are removable and you do not have to run them, they are essentially splash/debris guards..See Scat Adams rig for some shots with them off.
