Project-JK lil' Nemo Stage 2 - ARB All Around
While we had been running lil' Nemo with some hand-me-down parts just to hold her over, our plan all along was to install a set of ARB front and rear bumpers and a set of ARB rocker guards. And, as you can see in the photos below, that's exactly what we've done for stage 2 of our new build....
I'll be honest and tell you that I'm not a real big fan of full width front bumpers but the ARB really does look great and offers a very factory look. I should note that the back side of this bumper is reinforced and should do well to absorb an impact if hit just on the ends.
As you can see here, the ARB rocker guards are frame mounted and even come with a nice black trim piece that covers up the pinch seam very well....
Like the front, the ARB rear bumper gives you a great factory look and comes complete with Hi-Lift Jack points. These points are normally covered up with rubber inserts....

All the parts you see featured on our JK were acquired from Northridge4x4 and if you're interested in any of them, that's where you can go to buy them.

well, it did do some quick growing but it won't be seeing anymore for a while. at this point and time, we are going to test it out as is.
i don't know for sure. i've never been keen on the idea of running a 35" spare on the tailgate as i believe it will result in fatigue and damage. however, i wanted to give this a test and see for myself if this is a sure thing or is there something that can be done to help prevent damage caused by the weight. needless to say, we will be testing this out for a while.
