The shop I am refering to, is located almost at the left corner of the main entrance road leading to Clark airbase. Its in the back of this shop called "Rock Bottom Office Supplies" along McArthur hiway. If you know how to go to Clark you can't miss it. I'll try to get their contact numbers and hopefully get a picture of their copycat ARB's within the week too. Baka early next week ma update ko kayo. Out of town lang ako for the next 5 days kasi (pasensya na peeps kailang magtrabaho).

As a backgrounder, this shop is like that of Obet na mechanic and friend in Olivedrab (some of you probably have met him na). They also work on 4x4's ... members din yata sila ng AC 4wheelers club. One of their mechanic whom I know is a 4x4 enthusiast too (also became a Marlboro team some 4 years back). As such I supposed that their ARB copycat is not just a "show-off" thing. To be sure, I'll ask them your questions on it.

The one I saw was mounted with a WARN winch....so I supposed if it could withstand a tow....why not as a jackpoint?!?

ARB have several models of their bumpers...try checking their site. And check if the model locally available really is available in their catalog. Further, maliban sa orig na ARB sticker, it probably have a stamp ARB logo in the metal (Calmini does have these on their products). Plus, always buy from reputable suppliers (perhaps stores like RATS, RIDE and others).

I think the airbag sensors would be disabled....unless the orig ARB have provisions for the sensors??? Definitely kung hindi orig na ARB, I greatly doubt kung kaya nilang paganahin pa rin yun sensors na iyun.

my 2 cents.

kimpoy eto yung location ng gawaan if ever makita mo pakikuha nalang contact number tnx

**Ungas** · January 11th, 2003 11:36 AM

2 pa lang naman tayong nabibilang kong balak magpakabit eh. :?

Naghahanap pa kasi ako ng design kung san pwede ilagay 4 auxiliary lights sa ibabaw with holes for winch. :shock:

**jay crew** · January 11th, 2003 07:37 PM

guys sino ang interested magpalagay ng fabricated na arb bumper, coz pag mas madami i think makukuha natin ng mura, lets just wait for wildthing or kimpoy to post the contact number of the shop.

snorkel

Would I want one??? I want it!!!! :mrgreen: ( The problem is I'm financially incapacitated :D )

Question:
1. How many auxiliary lights can I fit infront? ( I was aiming for an HID aux lights by Lightforce )
2. What additional items do I need if I may want to install winch?
3. Will the existing brackets from my old bumper still be used?
4. What available colors does it have?

Hahaha funny guy! Would want to give it away to a nice guy like you, but unfortunately I am running a business here. I am still a far way from philantrophy.

Answers :
1. Provision for 2 aux lights, however 2 pairs can be acommodated with a little ingenuity.
2. Virtually none, just bolt on the winch. Oh, and a little bracket for the winch control box.
3. No, they are too weak.
4. Initially Powdercoated black - but it can be custom painted to any color you want.

paint your grill flat black jay crew

**pajerokid** · January 14th, 2003 02:50 PM

jay crew::: i like it pre! (your grille) :mrgreen:

**Ungas** · January 14th, 2003 03:25 PM

Freeman:::
Is it available now at your shop? I might pay you a visit this coming week to see the item and discuss more infos with that offer. Doug of RATS told me that they attached medium load springs infront, could it handle the weight of T15? I'm afraid that it would cause my front end to sag after installing the new bumper/bullbar. :?

**jay crew** · January 14th, 2003 07:16 PM
