Can you fit an ARB non-SRS bumper to a D1 with the factory XD skid plate? Any problems?

Thanks,

Jay

You can fit the ARB with the factory front skid plate. I did that for about 6 months. Make sure that the bolts they give you for the ARB are the same size as the bolts in your frame horns. I ran into the issue that the rear bolt hole on the ARB was about 5/8" while my trucks rear bolt hole was 3/4". That makes a huge difference as far as the bumpers resistance to rotating. If you have any questions, ask. Here are some pics of what happens when the supplied hardware is the wrong size.
