Gap on ARB Rear Bumper?
Hey guys,
Picked up this rear bumper for 250$ and installed it today. I noticed it seems like there's a gap where the wheel sits.....Is this normal/just the way this model is or is there an after market brace I can run across this to blacken it out or do I just need to get a plate welded in myself?
Thanks!

Are you referring to the notch to accommodate a larger than stock spare tire? Without it the spare would prevent your tailgate from closing if the spare was mounted there stock or with an aftermarket tire carrier if the bumper can take one.
From the pic the bumper looks straight, above the upper right of the Arb logo there is what looks to be a slight gap is this what you are referring to?

Yeah, I've seen the notch on others, but still have a black plate to cover the frame/undercarriage
