? About ARB front bumper?

[Tim Herald]

Finally found a a good used one for a good price. Can I buy just a turn signal lens cover to replace the broken one from ARB? And is there a way to attach my African front license plate?
The one I want to buy

My license plate

 

[John McVicker]

Not sure about the broken lens. But this is how I mounted 2 license plates to my ARB front bumper. Front state license which is required by California and then one for fun. Drill 2 holes each license, then nut/bolt them up.

You might need to tilt the 2nd picture to get the best view.

Tim,

The last time I had an ARB I needed to replace the light covers and they didn't show a kit on the site but when I called customer service they gave me a part number and transferred me to a local dealer. I am lucky as there was a warehouse a couple towns over and I could actually just pick up from them (this was years ago). It wasn't crazy expensive but I couldn't buy just one lens, it was both sides and IIRC it came with a couple other perishable/expendable parts.

As for the license plate, back in the day you could get a bracket that clipped over your fairlead roller to display your plate but if you are hip and happening with new technology and run synthetic you won't have that option. You may be able to get some bar clamps to mount to the lower crossbar just above your winch.

Also, the green looks really good on the truck.

John,

I like how your actually require plate is all jacked and mangled and the vanity AUS plate is safe and sound. I like where your mind is at!

 

[John McVicker]

Thanks. I keep reminding people that I’m not as crazy as I look.

Thanks. They offer the two light kit for $50.
They said no lens cover when I called arb. I may be able to use a flip up plate bracket, not sure if they will fit. Why does synthetic stop the bracket use? I think this winch does have synthetic rope.

They show up on ebay every once in a while. I had to replace one of mine when it split in half. I may have the other one in my parts bin.

I keep those light holes open on the ARBs that I have because it's a convenient spot if you need to use a Hi-lift jack on the bumper for lifting.

Good point. If you’re careful you can also use metal shackles also. Probably also soft shackles but I’ve for sure used the metal ones.

My buddy put led bars in there for extra light

Forgot to update this thread.
I found these:

PAIR of LED Indicators, Signals + DRL or Park lights For ARB Bullbars 135 x 38mm | eBay Australia

Suits older style ARB bullbars. ► 135mm x 38mm (The smaller type used in many earlier ARB bars such as TJ and JK Jeep Wrangler, Holden Rodeo, Land Rovers, Land Cruisers etc). These are 135mm x 38mm. Current draw is.

www.ebay.com.au

Combination LED DRL and turn signals. Direct fit to an 80 Series ARB bar. At the current exchange rate, about $40 for the pair.

The turn signal wire is tapped into the OEM turn signal and the DRL is run off ACC power with a separate dash switch. They come in handy to throw some light into a camping spot while setting up at night, and I don't have to have the truck "ON". They use very little current and make very good...

Thx ! I saw these and regular orange lens covers on eBay as well. I am gonna go see about the bumper Monday and then order one of these options I guess.

I will check. My parts bin is up high in my garage and super heavy.

UDPATE: found them. Sent you a message @Tim Herald

BTW, change those old halogen bulbs to LEDs.

Waterproof, bright, and only about $17 a pair. They needed minor modification to fit.

Thanks. Had this one marked but didn’t know if it would work. That helps a lot.

My license plate is securely attached to the ARB bumper with a home made hack.
