I still have some residual anger about the install. So I cannot give a fair review. I've torn down and rebuilt sbf engines and c4 valve bodies that were easier/less time.

Not today. But over the last week

This install is never ending. The drivers side turn signal on the bumper is not working. I suspect there might be a bent pin. The plug had a red piece of plastic that came off in the plug. I used. Needle nose pliers to pop it out. Also, the factory tubing for the front camera...

Well I'm done. Finally. Not sure I would go with arb again. Given the directions, wrong parts, and general pain in the butt that was the install. There is definitely some steps in the directions that need to be explained more thoroughly. As well as in different order. (Fairlead after...

I'm thinking that one of my triangle brackets is out of spec. The drivers side mates up perfect. Passenger outside is the one giving me fits. Per ARB tech support. It is ok to have a gap. Except the bolts aren't long enough to fully thread on. I am a bit concerned about torque the...

Couldn't find where the chassis mount was binding up. I reinstalled it with the gap. I got the bumper on solo. Used an engine hoist and some webbing. I wrapped the bumper corners with the bubble wrap from the packaging. Then manually adjusted it up and down while it was dangling from...

I pulled the passenger side chasis mount off again. It was the one with the air gap. It feels like it is hanging up where it mates to the stock bumper mount plate. I'm starting to think it may be out of spec. I'm going to paint it white and see where it is rubbing. The driver side...

To be fair. I'm pretty sure the directions were written by someone who was told how to install the bumper from someone who was in the shop while another person installed it.

Did you have a 1/4" gap between the chassis mount and stock bumper mount? Arb said it was normal. I can't get it to sit flush. I'm half tempted to grind out another quarter inch from the slot the cross bolt sits into

Back at it today. Hoping to finish up, since I picked up ot shifts on Tuesday and Thursday. Unfortunately it's 103* outside! Fortunately the ac unit in my shop is blowing cold. I had to run to town to buy a split loom for the parking sensor harness that I had to split. While I was in...

Had to take a break to go to work. I'll be back at it on Monday when I get home. I did find this on insta. Which hit my feelings in the install perfectly.

Success! Had to rotate the parking sensor bevel 90 degrees and it slipped in. It's still a bit loose fit wise. I strung up the wiring harness for the sensors. I'm going to have to split the harness up to get it to reach the inner mounts.

Last night I tore apart the chassis mounts from the frame again. I found an arb zenith install video that the mounts are nearly the same. I watched the video and realized the packers are the 6mm thick metal washers. The confusion I had was that the only packers listed in the instruction...

The plastic bumper guards were a minor inconvenience. There are e pieces. The rubber molding that slips into the bull bar base. Then a flat piece that slides between the bull bars and a front piece that mates to the flat piece. Unfortunately the plastic groove is very thin and the...

Got in the zone last night putting the bumper together. It was pretty easy with a fee small hiccups. Firstly, the directions say to install the winch. Then fairlead. Unfortunately you cannot install the failed after the winch is installed. Knowing this, I would suggest installing the...

10mm. I'm not a bolt scientist. So I had to Google the length. Which is from the bottom of the head to the end of the bolt. I'm starting to lose confidence that all the parts that were in the box are for a bronco...

Correct sized bolt on the left.

Not sure if 5mm is what is binding me up? I don't have enough bolt length to put washers on either side. Bolt size is supposed to be m10x1.5x110 Looks like 105

Spent 45 minutes on hold with arb. I'm guessing they left early for the holiday. I can't get the bolt to seat into the notch on the chassis mount. It keeps slipping into the bigger slot and pulling through.

At a standstill again with the chassis mounts. I cannot get them to flush up against the frame horn. Since there is no washer, the nut pulls through. It looks like there should be a washer to prevent this. But both sets of instructions do not have it included in this part of the assembly
