Default ARB front plus LOD rear

What do you guys think about this, I am probably going to be giving Dave a call on Monday for the ARB front bumper deal, but when I go with a rear I dont really want to go with the ARB rear because there is not a tire carrier. How to you think a rear LOD would look together on Black unlimited.?

I was actually concidering this same combo also. I have no idea why ARB doesnt have a tire carrier

I think it would look really good myself, if ya decide to do it I cant wait to see the pics.

I have the same question. I recently got a great deal on an ARB at the 4wheel parts show in San Mateo. The finish on this bumber is a satin black, The LOD comes in matte black or textured semi-gloss. Which finish would go with the ARB better? Ha anyone seen them together?

the lod matte black is a close match to the arb satin black.

I just finished installing the Arb front and it is a higher gloss than the matt finish on the LOD although they are a good match as far as looks go. The LOD guys suggested the matte as it was easier to match. My 2 door is also black.
