that might be something of worth in the end...

He's been doin it for 30+ yrs and located in Winston!

Sup fellas! I've got the bumper now and it's in great condition! I was just doing a little more research on the mounting kit and I stumbled upon what appears to be a gem... $99.98 for the actual ARB mounting kit (for this particular bumper), and it's located at 4wheelsparts.com here in Charlotte!

Is this legit?! I thought the mounting kit sold for $400+???

I think you are right all along there. Says it right on ARBs website

"3520020 - Fitting kit to complete installation for 2010-12 models"


Glad it seems to be working out. Felt bad for posting it sans parts

Yea that's what I'm thinking too! There's two different kits, and my truck is an '07, so I may just order both to make sure I get the right parts.

Oh gotcha. an '07. (add that to your sig!)

Might as well. Im sure you could return unneeded ones!

Good thinkin

But yea, especially since they're local, I would imagine it'd be no problem.

Mike, you out there this mornin?? I want to confirm with you before moving forward with this purchase (to make sure you didn't stock up on my metal yet!)

FYI, for anyone wanting these brackets for future bumpers, I just talked to ARB and ordered the specific left and right braces (the link to the kit above does not actually mount the bumper to the frame). These are the two brackets needed:

3756851L and 3756851R.

I got them both through 4wheelparts.com, should be here within a week, and together they only cost $89 plus $9 shipping from ARB.

Now I've got to figure out where to get the best bolts at to mount this sucker. Suggestions?

I would just Google the bolt size and grade. I just went looking everywhere for slider bolts and would have spent $40+ at Lowes, ect. Did that with my hitch bolts (which are huge)... they were like $30 for 6 bolts and hardware. Ouch

Went on a site called DrillSpot and they were $0.90 each...so that was roughly a mere $15 bucks spent. Only downside is (at least MY order) shipping from Colorado...


Bolt sizes look to show up in the install PDF

Yea Lowes charges way too much, but no one is ever able to help me there either. I'll check out that DrillSpot, thanks!

Do you have a Grainger? I got bolts from there a lot cheaper than lowes/home depot. I know this is a week late just throwing in my 2 cents on the bolts.

Oh man I forgot to update this... I decided to give the ARB dealer a shot and see what they could do for me. I'd always heard of their customer service being excellent and finally got to experience it. The man I spoke with, J.R., actually went down into the warehouse himself and dug through their parts to find a leftover bag of bolts (complete bolt/nut/etc. set for the entire bumper), and shipped it to me for $35! I couldn't believe my luck! It's not easy to find quality customer service these days, but when you do, it sure goes in my book of referrals.
