Default Arb front. Lod rear.

Hi everyone,

I am getting the arb front bumper and the lod rear bumper. I was wondering...does anyone have this setup? If so, could you show me or tell me if the two powdercoat colors match fairly well? I have been thinking of getting them speedlinered but if the two colors match pretty well then why bother.

Thanks so much!

Sean

I have this combo, looks great. The powedercoat on the ARB is better quality, but if you keep a coat of wax on the LOD it will look really good.

Did you go with the superduty zinc powdercoat or the regular one?

I have the ARB front and the LOD rear. I recently used a bed liner type material on my ARB front to cover up a scratches from a fender bender.... and it looks better than new and it still looks good in relation to the LOD

Thank you soo much for that picture. You may have just solved another question I had. I love the look of it bedlinered. My other question is...are those the ipf 900xs sport lights? I have been wanting to know how people like em. Thanks!

I would LIKE to have this setup... Already have the ARB front.. and I did bedline it.

Here it is the day after install.. before my lift or winch.. I like how the finish matches the fenders pretty well.



This is a rustomium finish.. and when going thru brush, and such.. it can scratch... but it's overall very durable.

I sanded, and primed the bumper with an adhesion promoter.. I did probably the best job that a person would do with rattle cans... and it can still scratch up a bit..

I hear it's easy to repair.. If you clean the area with alcahol, the bed liner bonds to itself.. so touch ups are supposed to be simple. havn't tried yet.

I did a write up on the process a while back.
