Sources for ARB mounting brackets

[MG2000XJ]

I recently bought a used ARB bumper with no mounts included.

I've talked to ARB and they don't have any available and lead times from Australia will be about 4 months.

Does anyone know of a vendor who stocks ARB and might have the fit kit available?

I'm not looking to pay or do any extra fab work to get this thing mounted.

Thanks,

MG

So you want someone to give you brackets and your not willing to fab anything? Where's the mod tech?

What do you mean by mounts?

I don't recall any separate "mounts" on mine except for the license plate bracket and winch solenoid bracket, both of which are not needed. The rest was just regular hardware except for the bottom two bolts on each side which went into what I would call "mini nutstrips."

He is not working with the stock bumper and using an aftermarket one. By definition, that is modified, don't be a turd.

I would agree here. The ARB mounts should be built into the bumper. What exactly are you looking for?

The mounts are sperate and bolt to the bumper, he's just asking where he can get a set.

Not that I am aware of.

Pre 97 instructions note separate brackets.

This is correct. I have the bumper for pre 97. I cannot even find pictures of the brackets.

The brackets mount to the jeep and then the bumper mounts to those.

I have called around but no luck so far. I was just hoping someone had a line on something that would work or knew of somewhere who has these parts.

I have a dinky welder and I could tack something together but I'm really not trying to pay someone to build me something. I don't think what I would deem sufficiently strong/safe would be cheap to have made.

I have read through this thread but that's way overkill for me.

Can you take some pictures of what you have?

The one in the link is a 97-01 Bull Bar. You could possibly get something like
http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJ/XJUNF.html and tack it to your bull bar to make sure they are in the right spot then have someone with a better welder burn it in for you.

Got it.

I'll see if I can dig up any photos.

Best bet for something like this is to see if a vendor with the bull bar in stock will sell you just the brackets and then they can order replacements for their stock. Going to be a hard sell but the right vendor might help you out.

 

[Kittrell]

Best I could find. Given that they only mount to the three factory holes, I would definitely look into a custom bracket.

Without wanting to do any modifications it would probably be easier to sell what you have and buy a complete bumper.

Or buy this http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/xj-bumper-brackets.html and get it welded on, it'll be much stronger too.

Who did you talk to at ARB?
