ARB BB install---pics

[Lovey]

Thanks to Cruiserhead and another bud(who just drank and handed tools)
for the hand. Install was simple. Just follow supplied directions.
Didn't trim the fender liners. Took the bottom off and zip tied them up. Looks fine.

Looks good, I am going with the ARB too, and putting in my Warn XD 9000.

Are you lifted at all?
Did the nose come down at all?

Stock suspension. Did not notice much drop in front.
It will sag eventually, but by then I will have the OME in.
I hope. $$$$$ is gone after this bumper.

I did this first due to 4 close deer strikes within 1 month of owning the truck. Beno can attest to that. He saw the fourth one driving behind me.
I liked it on my Taco so naturally this truck needed it also.

Looks good. I figured it would droop more with the stock suspension. I may go ahead and do the bumper first then and the suspension and tires second after all. Deer are to the US guys as to Kangaroo to the Aussies..... They can really ruin your day.

Real nice Lovey.

Looks good and will be useful for those pesky deer in that area.

Those suckers are everywhere.

Looks great!! So how long did it take (in between beers) to get this installed?

When I installed my ARB (plus a WARN M8000) w/stock suspension I measured a .75" drop in front. After about 3 weeks on the stock suspension I re-measured and it was down 1.25". I have since installed the OME kit and it raised the front 3.25" immediately following the lift. 2 weeks later the OME had settled to 3" of lift.

I wont be mounting a winch on this truck for quite some time.
So the sag should be somewhat less.

If I had the cash for one, it would be on the 40.

I have dropped about 1" with the Winch/Bumper combo... I will be ordering a lift tomorrow after wheelling for the week end and running in to clearance problems.
