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

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
then mud tires
then winch.
