This is my first post to this forum, so first of all HI EVERYONE!!!! My first question/request is: can those of you who have ARB's post some pics of them so I can get an idea of what they look like on an X? My buddy has one on his jeep zj, but i've never seen one in real life on an X. Thanks!!!

hey man. First of all let me welcome you to the board. second of all let me warn you that some people may get upset about this post. Let me tell you why:

This site has been around a while. People have covered most of the topics that us newbies are concerned about. (like the ARB bull bar)

So, in order to find out this type of information in the future, I would suggest using the search engine that can be found on the main forum pages.

The ARB bull bar is a great accessory. I don't have it, but I hear that it is very strong and has good integrity. There are many many posts about this on many threads, but I am not sure of the names of any of them. Search for ARB bull bar in the engine.

If you can't find them there, email me and I will send you pics.

I have just installed a winch to fill that big hole in the middle:


I agree with Kafka213 searching is your friend.

Why thanks for mentioning us.

A LOT of the folks here have ARB's, some of whom actually use them - they're the new "in" thing whether you go off-road or not I guess.

I am thinking of ordering an ARB bullbar for my 2000-X , wonder if there is any mods/drilling etc. during the install or it is a simple plug and play?

Thanx!!

The ARB bumper can require drilling when installing. If you are uncomfortable doing this, you might want to have an Offroad shop do htis for you.

Also, there are several threads in this forum explaining the ARB install process. SEveral of them have pictures of the actual installation.

Gearhead, your ARB install compared to mine looks different. There seems to be a bigger space between the bumper and the grill. Did they drill the holes different? I didn't do any grinding/drilling and the bumper rest perfectly under my grill with barely of a gap showing.

Those pics I have are not the greatest. My grill sits right on top of the ARB with no gap.
