Dave you are a sweet talker!

I'll probably call in my order on Moday. That and a Flash Paq more than likely.

I've seen a lot of JK bumpers up close and personal, and for Northridge's price of $799 shipped (still gasping!), the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar is unbeatable.

I bought mine from them earlier this year and I'm still astounded at the fit/finish and build quality of this piece, it's beastly and fits the contours of the JK perfectly. Psst, if you don't have rock sliders, David will set you up with the ARB rails like he did me too, they rock (ho!- pun).

How do the turn signals wire up? They got a harness adapter or do yo have to splice the leads?

To wire the turn signals you splice into the leads. Comes with an easy wiring harness. My ARB looks great, and you can carry the hi-lift on it. I'll get a photo up here eventually.

I chose not to run my amber lights in the bumper as turn signals. I wired them as marker lights.

As awkraqt stated, you can bolt your Hi-Lift right to the bumper. Some guys use the tabs on the hoop, but that causes the jack to impair your vision. I put mine down lower, works out very nicely.

Will the ARB bumper have the same finish as the EXPO ONE rear bumper.

Here it is with the Hi-Lift on top. Best place I can think of for a 60" Hi-Lift.
