trexterra Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was thinking about having a fab shop do it for me while i'm gone for 3 weeks. Was just looking for what other people have done to compare, or ballpark how much it is going to run me. Maybe I could just sell off the ARB and have a tube front built?

Trogdor636 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 People have relocated, but you should sell it to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Donate it to TheNunyaHouse, a non-profit organization with a common goal to make nunya happy A few people have made their non-BL aftermarket bumpers fit after a bodylift I done. I think there's even pics somewhere of the modifications needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I do not have (nor could I afford) an ARB bumper but I took care of my own relocation... If you have a welder, and know how to utilize it... you are already way ahead of the pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think you might be able to use flat hardbody mounts if you want to relocate the stock bumper but the ARB one definitely has to be modified to be in the right spot after the body lift.

pathybuilder Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Precise1 sent me this a couple months ago, because I had the same question. The last part of the thread has the modification for the body lift. http://www.nissanpat...__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trexterra Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 So I can't find a metal fab shop anywhere near me. I'm just about ready to say screw it, sell it, then buy a TAG bumper built for 3" lift. Thoughts? offers? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 leave it in its current location and fill the gap with thin fog lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trexterra Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 leave it in its current location and fill the gap with thin fog lights haha, I would if it would make it through the core support holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 No welding shops, or 4x4 shops near you?? A 4x4 shop should be able to mod the bumper for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathybuilder Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) leave it in its current location and fill the gap with thin fog lights haha, I would if it would make it through the core support holes. If welding isn't an option, you can still make it work without a fab shop. You can notch the bumper out with an angle grinder, then notch the body panel inside your fender so you can reach the mounting bolts. To make it look better you can make a custom grill to extend down over the gap. I ran around with a 2" BL and ARB bumper for a couple years. Just looking at doing the fabrication mod now. You can see the gap, under my headlight in my signature. A custom made grill would fix this. Edited July 21, 2012 by pathybuilder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trexterra Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 the gap would bother me more than no bumper at all I think. I couldn't even take it when the ARB on my first X was higher on one side than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
