Hey fellas,

I installed my ARB with a couple of buddies yesterday, thought I'd post how it went, I think it looks great. I have a winch for it too, that will come this week sometime because I just didn't have enough time for wiring yesterday. Starting out, I removed the front grill cover, the front headlamps, side markers, and parking lamps to free up the front bumper cover (all that for a cheap piece of plastic!). With a little patience, the bumper popped right off. I thought it looked kinda sweet, I wanted to drive around like this for awhile but my friends assured me that the ARB would look better...I still think it looks sweet:D

The next step was to remove the foglamps, get the brackets from my old brushguard out, and install the new ones for the ARB and the Charcoal Box Cover. This was not the easiest task, the brackets hung me up for a little bit, but we pulled through. Here's a pic of me and Ben figuring them out. He's got a white ZJ on Clayton Longarms, so he really knew his way around.

All that was left was installing the parking lamps, and putting the bumper on...some of the bolts were in some tight places, but nothing too bad. Here's the finished product, I am soooo glad I did this one! Let me know what yall think!

Doesn't the ARB hurt performance? ;) Nice job, but maybe you put it into the wrong forum??

Looks good!! How do you like those Intercos? I just bought a set and was wondering what kind of mileage I coan expect to get out of them.

Welcome to the club, I think it changes peoples whole impression of the ZJ once you put one on. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I love the look of it. As for the tires, they are OK. I am not impressed...I wanted really knobby tread and I sacrified ride and wear. I pretty much knew how it was gonna be. I think I might go for BFG MT next time to get a better ride and more wear. But the swampers do look bad ***.
