I haven't been able to fix the rubbing on my ARB and since I was thinking of going to 37s or being able to run thick snowchains on the 35s I'll need to get a stubby or make my ARB a stubby. I'd probably cut the ambers off, weld end caps on, and bedline the whole thing. I can't find anyone whose done this so I poorly photo shopped these. What you guys think?

That's pretty sweet. I have an ARB as well and was wondering what to do if I went with 35" tires. This seems like a cool solution. Keep us updated if you go through with it.

 

I you've got the skillz, I say do it! Looks great.

 

just sell it and buy a stubby

 

I was rubbing 35's after I put on the OME long travel kit. As per WOL's rec I removed the supports on the backside of the bumper... no more rub at full flex.

As for 37's I don't have personal experience but maybe David from Alpha Expedition will chime in. He run's 37's with the ARB bumper.

You anti-selling it? There's definitely a resale market for them.

 

I've removed the brackets as well. Its a combination of front lowers that move the axle forwards as well as wheels that make the tires stick out too far such that the outside corners of the wheel hit the bottom flange on the bumper.

I could sell it as well. Its just not in like new condition. Some rock rash and pinstriping.

 

I'd buy it. Let me know
