Test fit went well, except for the PSCG. The sheetmetal shop made the bends in the wrong spot, so they didn't fit. I have a few of the PSCGs from the previous run so, I'll have some full sets ready to ship by Monday or Tuesday.

You should get them by Thursday or Friday. Thanks for the order!
I just put a full ARB front bumper on my 2016 LX. Are there any compatibility issues with your skid system and your low profile recovery points?
Do you have any pictures of how the bumper mounts near the front crossmember?
Hopefully these are helpful. If not, let me know and I’ll get whichever angle you need.
The recovery points will work without issue.
Some modifications will need to be made for the ARB bumper to transition into the front skid. My power steering cooler guard won't be able to be utilized either, but the ARB bumper will protect that.
Have you had any issues with your power steering fluid overheating with that bumper and winch installed? Another member had issues with theirs, I believe they had the same bumper/winch combo.
Thanks for the feedback. Good to know regarding the recovery points. I figured they would work.
The modifications I assume will be on the ARB skid side?
As for the power steering issues, I haven’t had any yet but the bumper set up has only been on for about 100 miles. But it’s summer, I’m in Houston, and I have 600 acres of unpaved, slow, off road type driving at work (think mild to moderate trail rating) so if that’s an issue, I’ll across it sooner than later. That said, there are a few versions of this ARB for the 200 series. Mine is the latest revision/version, so I’m not sure if that’ll help or not. I can always add a proper external cooler if needed. Ironically, I didn’t go with something like a Dissent design because I hate the high clearance cuts where everything is so exposed. I like the actual protection the ARB offers via its coverage and skid plates, plus the bull bar.
Perhaps adding some cut outs or smaller drilled holes to that lower skid plate would aide in airflow?
That wheel tire combo is great.
Apologies for the "me too" question. Received the skid plate a week or so ago - amazed it fit it in a single box - impressive.

My front skid hugs the front crossmember, it looks like it should fit under the arb section. Mods would need to be made to make each bolt to each other.
See this thread
I would just keep it mind, and if something does start happening, then cooling holes could help alleviate the issue.
See @VailMtnOG post above, their bumper has cut outs in that area for the power steering cooler.
Just the PSCG won't be used with that bumper. A little flat filler plate can be made to make for a smoother transition between the 2.Apologies for the "me too" question. Received the skid plate a week or so ago - amazed it fit it in a single box - impressive.
