Ok, Here we go. the official ARB Bumper Thread for the LC200.
This thread is VERY pic intensive so be warned:
First some pics of the BEFORE LC200:
BORING!!! Un-Protected!!
Ok....now the Modified LC200
Alright....now for the pics of what happened in between:
(I will try to caption in between but don't yell at me if I don't please!)
In the shop all ready to go!
Bumper all packaged:
Bumper Unpackaged:
Bumper with the winch installed in it:
Grill removed:
Stock Bumper Removed:
(noticed the great protection the stock bumper provides!)
As expected the original bumper needed to be cut at certain places. Here you can see the measuring being done and taped:
After the cutting of the stock bumper....here are the results:
(notice how the headlight washer outlets are still there and the rubber gasket along the edge of the piece of bumper. There is no worry of rusting as the bumper is not metal)
What is left of the stock bumper....which is now in the Hemet, Ca landfill.
Here are the main brackets for the bumper , attached at the frame:
Also notice them in the far right bottom of this pic:
Notice here the wheel well (bottom left) and how LONG it comes down after the old bumper is removed:
Here are the guys fitting on the bumper:
Once again notice how far down the wheel wells come down below the ARB bumper. By cutting off the excess it gives me TONS of more front bumper clearance. I will make this VERY known in pics to come.
