My SAS Badlands dropped 3/4" in the front with exact same bumper/winch setup. Though I installed Diode Dynamics fogs.Good looking Bronco! Curious if you notice anything from the extra weight up front?
Awesome! Looks great. Did you install yourself? My Summit and Warn 10S came in from Northridge and are waiting in my garage for me to find some free time for me to install. Did you have any issues or tips? How difficult was it connecting the ARB turn signals into the factory harness?My new ARB summit bumper. With Warn evo 10s winch and Baja design SAE squadron fogs.
With a winch itās too heavy for me. $800 labor charge was worth it.Awesome! Looks great. Did you install yourself?

Yeah, Iām going to tackle it myself. Bought an inexpensive hydraulic lift table to accomplish the lifting and lining up part. Will save me $500+ to spend on other goodies.With a winch itās too heavy for me. $800 labor charge was worth it.

Thanks for the reply. Iāll most likely be doing this solo. I bought a 1000 lb. capacity hydraulic lift table to lower capable bumper on my Badlands Sasquatch and to raise the Summit and Warn to the proper height and finesse into place. Hoping it goes as smoothly as my old feeble mind thinks. I did purchase a front camera extension cable. Too much on my to do list to tackle this project at the momentā¦but soon I hope. Guess Iāll see how much the front suspension sags after the install and make a determination from there.I don't remember there being much of an issue getting the arb lights working.. but I might be glossing that over because the rest of the install was such a pain in the ass lol.
Like you, I was trying to install it myself. Had a friend help me one day, and my kid help me for like an hour or so another day.. all told it took a bit over two days to get it on right. Issues we ran into were:
1. ARB sent the wrong bolt for the through the frame mount. It was like 15-20cm too short... but we were sure it was us for the first 2 hours lol.. because it'd just barely catch the teeth on the nut... (if we didn't use the washers) anyway finally thought to measure the bolt vs what is said on the sheet and realized that it wasn't long enough. Went to Lowes for a replacement.
2. getting that warn winch in place was a bear because of not being able to reach the bolts/nuts to tighten things down
3. having to take the bumper back off to add the spacers (just add all the spacers at the start and be happy).
4. by the time you're actually mounting it, it's the 170+ lbs for the bumper + like 80 lbs for the winch I think.. so looking at 250 lbs of awkward. nightmare.. and we were just supporting it with a floor jack & rotopax acting as extensions blocks for the jack.... idiots
I think if you're in a 23 wildtrak (fox shocks) you'll want to start looking at changing the suspension .. the fox shocks tend to be softer and I noticed that things were thinking about wobbling a little when I was taking turns fast (it didn't wobble.. but I could tell it was thinking about it). Of course I also had rock sliders and a steel rear bumper on it at that point, so that didn't help.
Oh, and consider ordering a extension cable for the front camera (if you have one) and possibly some hose for the front camera washer ... you can get away without either.. but it does make things easier. Just the prep work on the bumper (removing the old one, moving the things to the new one.. freeing up cable length so things will reach, etc) can easily eat a day (if you're clueless like I was).. and the don't be surprised if it takes a full day to get the thing actually mounted after that.
I notice that ARB sells a fog kit, for those of us with the bumper trim that didn't come with fogs to swap over.My new ARB summit bumper. With Warn evo 10s winch and Baja design SAE squadron fogs.
