Great bumper i have had it on my jeep for a year now, and no problems at all with it. It is a really heavy duty bumper. As far as the install, it would help to have a buddy with u to mount the bumper. ARB's instructions suck and their seems to be a million and one nuts and bolts, but if you take your time it will come together easy. I didn't bother to wire in the lights on the bumper, im using them as reflectors.

I just installed it the other day. I really like it, though the instructions were god awful, and the bag of hardware was a complete mess. I had to look up on here how to get the stock bumper off, i had a hard time with those plastic rivet things, but that was it.

I could have had it installed quite a bit quicker with better instructions but still only took a few hours for everything.

I just got mine installed this past Sunday my buddy gave me a hand. Like everyone said the instructions suck ass! The parts are a massive Charlie Foxtrot! Don't forget you have to cut your crush cans with a part of your bumper off to install them on the Arb, why they couldn't just simply fabricate them and send them with the bumper I don't know. The end result is still the same a very nice looking bumper. Also get a friend to help you'll need it.

Here is a picture of mine that I did last year. I took my son and I several hours to do the job, but went real well. Not sure if the have changed the directions since then ( probably not), they are for right hand drive vehicles.
