Hi all, first time poster, long time lurker.

I purchased a 2011 Pro-4X AT back in June and have been busy doing some minor mods, but now I'm stepping up my game and installing the ADO Bilstein kit and a front bumper. After a ton of research, I've decided to go with the ARB bumper. I think I've gone through every ARB bumper post on here and it seems that all of the install walkthroughs have lost their pictures.

So, my question is, does anyone have old pictures of the ARB bumper install process? Most interested in the steps involving cutting the stock bumpers.

Thanks!

Coincidentally I just saw this, you might ask @se7en if they have any info:

What has The X Done to My Wallet Lately?

Phew what hasn't it done to the wallet. Next two weeks will be doing plugs, valve cover gaskets (unless I see oil in tubes then I'll do new covers), several vacuum hoses, plenum gaskets, cleaning throttle body, pcv hose and valve, poor mans trans drain and fill, new radiator, coolant drain and...

That's really timely, thanks so much for pointing me towards it!

The template they provide is way off. The sides of the cut where it meets the fender is correct but I had to trim the front corner portion several times to make it fit.

Thank you! Yours looks great. What fog lights do you have installed? They look different from others I’ve seen.

BKTCX, did you have trouble fitting the brackets around the power steering hoses when installing. I have a 2011 P4X and the directions that came with the bumper are not matching my truck. A lot off stuff is in the way of bolting on the brackets. Did you run into this too?

It was a couple years ago now, but I feel like I remember using a zip tie to pull it out of the way. I’ll take a look tomorrow.

Big surprise yesterday: my new ARB bumper showed up in the midst of a monsoon rain storm! Here I was thinking I could stick the box in the back of my X to get it to the shop, but no, this is one big crate. Only 220 pounds, though.

BTW, I phone-ordered this from 4WP a couple of weeks ago. They hooked me up with free shipping from the WA state warehouse to my house in southern NM, and I scored a 10% discount on the bumper by using a Synchrony credit card for the purchase. Overall a good experience with 4WP!

How did you get free shipping?

The 4WP telephone sales rep offered it. It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
