Xterra ARB winch bumper on an LX450?

[mjcraft]

Any thoughts on adapting an Nissan Xterra ARB to an LX450? Cutting and welding is not really too much of an issue...finding the time to do it is!

Thanks,
Michael

Did you get one for free or something like that? Otherwise I would save myself the hassle and just buy an ARB for the 80 Series/LX450 and save yourself a ton of time.

I wish it were free...

But it does have a milemarker winch and Hella lights for slightly cheaper than a new bumper by itself...

a year from now you'd be happy you spent the money on the correct bumper.

Offer the guy half what he's asking for just the winch and lights.

I'll try to check it out in person in the next day or so if it's still around and do a low-ball offer...maybe I can just mod it for my FJ55...

Thanks,
M

Buy it and sell it to an xterra guy minus winch and bumper. Invest the cash in a new custom bumper or something, not an arb......

I bought one from a guy for $65 that came off of a 03 Tacoma and put it on my 91 80. Was a little bent but nothing a torch and BIG hammer did not fix. Turned out pretty good after I made brackets etc. I think I ended up with $150 + my time in it. If it is cheap enough go for it!
