A while back I was shopping around for a new bumper and settled on ARB, I started doing research on what skid plates would work with this bumper I found a thread (here) saying that hefty fab. rad skid would work, after ordering up a skid, powder coating it, snapping a welded frame nut, disassembling the bumper, and test fitting the skid, it will not work without modification, that said I can take my sawzall with a metal blade and chop off enough material to make it fit. I wanted to put this out there for someone who may be in the same position later down the line. Good luck with your future modifications!

update - I kinda got it to fit, it is good enough to make it work but it definitely isn't perfect, I had to chop out a fair amount of metal from the back of the skid and force it up into the bracket with a jack, it will be a PITA when it has to come back down but it's better than nothing.

I think I might have altered the bracket instead of the skid, but good on you for making it work
Thanks! I considered modifying the bracket but if it was too close to the radiator on the inside contact for my comfort, and I couldn't fit my sawzall on the back side of the bracket meaning the bumper would have had to come off, that wasn't something I wanted to take on at the time but I may still have to do that later down the line.
