Wow, didnt know about the rebate... thats pretty cool. Did you have the steel or plastic Rubi bumper?
I have a Rubicon, but I didn't have the 3 piece steel bumper. I really like that bumper and considered buying it, but it was a lot more expensive. Especially considering you still have to purchase a winch plate for $275+ to install a winch to it.
Yeah that's the internal battle I'm having now! The Arcus is by far my favorite aftermarket bumper, i like the OEM+ look and that's what I always go for when modding. Just finished the video, always enjoy your vids and thanks for going into detail on how to fit the bumper. Any reason you didn't go for the riser bar on the Arcus? I think that's the only thing I would do differently.
Thank you so much for the kind words and supporting my channel! I personally just didn't want the riser bar, no other reason really. I'd say go for the riser bar!!! It's a great clean, OEM looking bumper!
No problem, hope you find it helpful! I’m ready to test out the winch, but with everything going on right now, it sure when I’ll get the chance.
I’m still working on it, but I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to. Had the same issue with Bestop. Talked to them yesterday and they’re going to work with me on it. From what I understand, sense you had yours installed at a shop, you should be good to go with your shop receipt!!!
It looks fantastic and I like the winch hook that you have!!! The wiring is all preference. My main goal was to make sure it wasn't anywhere that could/would get caught up on anything in a trail. Also, gotta get me some d-rings! I'm ordering the Factor 55 Hook tomorrow, so will probably go ahead and get some d-rings as well...Thanks again for the video. I watched it a few times. It helped a lot. I was able to fish the wires up through the square hole beside the battery under where the Aux wire bundle is using a coat hanger and pealing back the inner fender from underneath. I did not have to remove the air box. I also did not bother removing the grill. I zip tied the fog light wires to the wires for the sway bar disconnect. I think your way is much cleaner though and may re run them because you can see the excess wire when looking down into the bumper.
Is that a smitty winch? If so which one? When I installed my X20 10k on the Arcus, the control box wouldn't fit in the middle and I was disappointed because I like the symmetric look of it in the middle.Thanks again for the video.
