Default Rugged Ridge Arcus Bumper

Edit....

I installed the Arcus today. Looks great and the Smitty XRC fit with room to spare. Next up is a Rugged Ridge steering component skid plate and then splicing the factory fog light wires to reach the new spread out location.

If you don’t want to splice, there are plug in extensions, unless you solder the wire then seal, water, road salt, depending on where you are, can be a headache later on, the extensions plug in, no cutting or splicing and seal pretty well

Haven’t looked in a while, but they probably run 15 to 25 bucks

I agree. I'd love to find those. The issue will be that I'm going from the old style bulb to the newer one, so it would have to be the old plug to the new. Is there a vendor that makes those? I'll get the bulb types and post them when I can, but they are definitely different. I bought new fog lights and they have the newer bulbs. Which is good, though, because the older bulb is hard to find.

You may also look into these connectors, they have a low temp solder and a glue in the sleeve that melts and seals after crimping, makes a weather/ waterproof better than heat shrink seal
