Default ARB and M8000

Install took a bit longer than anticipated because I'm stupid . Have to order an adaptor for the skid plate but all-in-all I'm very happy with it. Ignore the XRC performance winches fairlead, its the only one 4wheelparts had. 100" synthetic line. Also have a hi lift for my gobi when ever the mounts come in. Tell me what you guys think!

Man that looks awesome.

Has me thinking I want one now. All you need now is a set of IPF driving lights!

Did you have to modify any part of your H3 or was it a bolt on fit??

Any photos of the skid plate fitment???

PS what size tires are they?? And how do you go with speedo reading with those tires??

Like aussie H3 said, was this a complete kit? Everything bolt on? Was there any mods needed to be done for the install?

What was the cost of this setup and where did you get it from?

No ignorance on your part because your rig looks great! I've been looking at the ARB for awhile now and wondered what it would look like on a black H3. Keep up the great work and thanks for the pics and info.

Kit did not come with the fog lights, I ordered the fog lights ( which do NOT just plug and play you have to splice) from mudflaps.com which was the cheapest I could find. You have to splice the turn signals in the bumper into the stock turn signals (that's relatively easy). On 2008+ models you would have to remove the lower radiator tank protector bar and cut both sides off and remount it. Also on 08"+ you have to remove a outer radiator dam and cut it out if you are mounting a winch. 06-07 this is not required because they do not have it. Skid plate will not bolt up on 06-07 you have to buy a bracket. Other than that everything bolts up. Ordered the bumper from 4x4 connection for 999.95 plus 247$shipping from Washington state to North Carolina. Thanks for comments guys, I've been wanting this for a while. Actually almost traded my 3 in on a 4door wrangler about 3 weeks ago but my fiancé talked me into buying the stuff I wanted and getting used to it and then decide. So far I'm loving it!

I think I understand what you mean so hear it goes. Purchase the bumper (999-1400$), optional fog light kit ( the actual lights because the bumper comes with the surrounds with punch outs incase you don't want fog lights about 90$),06-07 need to purchase the skid plate adaptor if you wish to reuse the factory skid (48-80$). The install, it's pretty basic just follow the instructions. When it says put the winch on a table and lower the bumper on top of it, just do it lol. Don't try to think of an easier way. 2 jack stands with two people stabilizing it, one holding the winch in the bumper and one running bolts is not the way to do it by the way.
