ARB Bumper on 08-10 Ford Super Duty

[pacificwildfire]

I was wondering if anybody had an arb bumper on their 08-10 Ford F250 or F350.

I want the utility of a winch, but I am not sure whether to go with the arb bumper, or just the warn hidden mounting kit.

Pictures online are limited of either item. ARB only has a couple pics of the bumper, and Warn only has 1 pic of the hidden mount.

If you have either of these items, please post up pics. I appreciate it.

Take a look at the all aluminum winch bumpers. It will be half the weight of the ARB. And more protection then the Warn.

Aluminess as a start

Buckstop now an option

Buckstop makes a number of winch bumpers. Recently they started offering aluminum bumpers. As of last month the aluminum bumpers were offered in the Classic I style only. They weigh about 90lbs less than the steel Classic I.

We've sold a handful of the ARB front bumpers for the Super Duty's. I'll see if I can get you some pics.

See photos

Hey,

See photos of my 2006 F250 with ARB on my website. http://www.westernexpedition.com/V_F250.html

It looks great. Tough as can be. I fitted a Warn M12000 and have no complaints. Got a great buy on it at 4-Wheel Parts.

These look really nice too. http://www.trailready.com/

I've seen these too and they are very cool. http://www.aluminess.com/

It is hard to beat the price and availability of the ARB. But there are some great selections out there. Happy shopping!

Forgot

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I faced the same decision with a Warn hidden system or the ARB. The Warn hidden system on the F250 looks goofy because they have to move the front bumper forward about 6". They fit a thin rubber strip between the bumper and the grill. It is effective but I thought it just looked cheap and wasn't up to my expectation. And you don't receive any additional body protection.

The ARB is tough as nails and adds significant protection to the front end without disabling the airbags - a key decision for me. I drive in areas with elk and free range cattle. Hitting one in the dark makes for a really bad day. The ARB should keep me alive and protect the radiator so that I can manage to make the drive to the repair shop. I was also able to mount big Hella flood lamps. The Hella's are a huge asset.

AND... the ARB just looks good. You won't be disappointed.

Exactly what I am looking for, now i just need a photo of one on a new body style ford. I have seen the warn hidden kits on the older style superdutys and agree they look kind of funny. I have yet to see one on the 08-10 ford yet.

Yeah, those are the only ones I have seen. I was just hoping someone here possibly had one.

Thanks

The ARB bumper looks small on that monster front nose!
