Front Bumper

King Lerado · 02-13-2008, 10:58 AM

I'm looking into buying the ARB Bull Bar front bumper for my Wj and am curious about a few things before i go ahead and paint myself into a corner. Where should i relocate the washer fluid container and other doodads that are currently running through my stock bumper?

I maybe wrong but I do not think you have to relocate anything to use the ARB. If you do any serious trimming of the front fender for tire clearance then you have to move the wash bottle.

I made this uber-cool thread just for you: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/zj-washer-fluid-reservoir-place-wjs-321148/

With 33's, you better relocate it because it won't be long at all until you rip it out (I am surprised you haven't already, I ripped mine out on 32's).

well i was wheeling this weekend and my front tire was grabbing at it and the rear passanger almost took off the whole rear bumper, so some trimming is in order. i've trimmed a little but its getting to the point where i need to start cutting chunks off.

You do not have to relocate anything to install the ARB, at least I did not have to on my '04. Now bigger tires are a different story.

I do not know where you are planning on getting your ARB, but check the prices at www.4wheelparts.com.

the best price i've see is to buy it from Rocky-Road Outfitters, because i only live 30min away i don't have to pay shipping.

that is a good, deal.... but the problem is, you are still giving them money...

Have to pay tax though, but thats still prob half of what shipping is.

Bigger bump stops FTW. My washer fluid is still alive

That isn't why yours is saved...if anything now it is because with the LA's your tires don't move as far forward is they used it. I wasn't even flexed out when I lost my washer fluid pumps, I was just coming down a hill while turning in Moab and gush it went...

If hes King Laredo shouldn't he have LA's ?

ya ya i should have LA's but i have to work with what i've got. I'm trying to start building up my armor with a bumper and rock rails. then whe i see how the weight has effected my suspention i'll start to modify that area again.
