Ok I had to tell the ONLY group of people who would care.

The ARB bumper is in, the Warn 12000 Winch is in, waiting on the Masterpull Synthetic rope with sleeve, but it should be here today or tomorrow.

Unfortunately I am having surgery tomorrow and wont be able to move till the weekend. So the install is scheduled for Monday at 10am!

I will take LOTS of pics :bounce2::bounce2::bounce2: I am excited!
 
This is great news! We are stoked for you!
Good luck with surgery and recovery, an I know we are all looking forward to pics.

Cheers!
 
I pushed the date up to Friday....so even better!

What did you do with your old bumper?

I haven't changed my bumper. In my opinion, s**** it. I am assuming that they needed to cut some pcs out to fill in the gaps, so the thing is essentially s****. S**** it, and don't look back.:D

Not sure why they put all the *s in my post. I was saying you should s c r a p it. Didn't realize s c r a p was a bad word...sorry if I insulted anyone.

Ahhh thats good advice
 
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or serious, but what you have done is way better...your wife will also be happy that you don't have the old bumper lying around. Maybe keep it for a month, and when she mentions it get rid of it. That way she will appreciate you. If you just dump it without her saying anything, she might not give you brownie points.

I was serious :) It is good advice
 
FWIW, having replaced both bumpers, if you have the space, keep them.

As time goes and more and more people start modding their 200s, there'll be someone who will want or need them.

Had I kept mine, I could have sold 'em!

Problem is that the front bumper would have needed to have been cut. Some of the moulding needs to go back, as the ARB doesn't cover the whole front...therefore, he is left with a cut front bumper piece...essentially garbage.
 
Nothing says you have to put the moulding back... :hillbilly:

It all depends how much is left after the install.
 
Well they are halfway done with the install and I have a lot of pics.

The new bumper is huge and with the winch, it weighs at lease 300 - 350 pounds. Once we take off the steel cable and put on the synthetic it should cut out at lease 90 pounds.

Pics to come tonight!
 
Here is a pic of the final product, I will post the build thread later tonite,....
