dont worry about it, from what i have read here no aftermarket bumper affects the airbags.

which ARB bumper did you get? The one with molded in fog lights perhaps??
does anyone have an X with the ARB "sahara" or deluxe" bumper on it?

btw this is wrong place to post this, parts and accesrories would be better.

I don't get the whole airbag thing with bull bars. The ARB will reinforce the frame horn crumple area and an impact will transmit a stronger crash pulse to the body where the sensor is under the console, but that will only make the airbags more likely to fire than less. The sensor is located near the occupants for a reason, so it will read the impact as it relates to how the occupants would experience it, and will fire the airbags accordingly.

Yeah I agree install it and be done with it. It is a disclaimer for thier safety in my opinion.

You dont even mess with the airbag sensor.
