Is that an ARB for the Liberty? Looks different for some reason, maybe because I haven't seen one not mounted.

NO it is not a ARB.... ARB's look better and are stronger just ask tom plus my ARB has sent a ford expedition to the grave yard

Yea I realize ARB is the beast of bumpers was just curious what that was, will that fit a liberty? Seems like it wouldn't...
with a welder anything will fit, now how it looks is another matter
so we'll wait and see how he cuts it up to fit

my angle of attack would be to cut it in half and extend it a bit to fit the liberty better, and make a bombproof mounting system.

I don't know, there's part of me that's saying that's sexy, but there's part of me that's saying it's really weird looking. Can't wait to see it installed

It's not an arb by far. I don't want what everyone else has. I'm going to staqrt with 4" channel steel about 8" long. Then I'm going to plate the front above the tow hook area. Everything will be bolt on. Going to try to get it done for the PA jeep show. Working every weekend for next month and a half.
I would start with more than just a 8 inch long piece of channel
IF I was doing one I'd first make a mount like ARB has, ties both sides together, then make mounts to mount the new bumper to that. :think:
( which sort of sounds like what you're thinking)
Would be a much cleaner way to do it than anyone's I've seen yet.
Most all look like if you lean on them they'd fall off. :rofl:
If you're going to do it do it right and make it strong.

It is actually 2 pieces if 4" channel. That's how it bolts to a jk. My plan is going to be to be able to bolt on any jk bumper I want. It's going to hold a 9000lb winch so it Haas to be strong. Check out my photo bucket pics. My builds are up there. 2 monster ZJs, tube crawler, 87 YJ, bunch of race gocarts some 1/4 scale gas buggies. My skills are strong young Jedi.

Come around I'll teach you my young Grasshopper
Just trying to help since most mount them with tin foil. Much different making something to mount to a TJ-JK than a KJ but some don't know that yet:Whoa::roflsquared::roflsquared:

OK took the front bumper cover off to see what I have to work with and to my surprise this is going to be easy to mount strongly. Now as for the sheet metal behind the bumper cover and fenders and the washer bottle are going to take some time to cut shape weld and replace so you cant see my engine through my bumper...

It's just held in place with my camera tripod to get a basic idea.

You ripped it off without taking the grille off?
