Quick question. I found an ARB bumper for sale cheap. I looked at the new ones for sale and they list it as being for 99-02. Will this fit on an 03?

 

It will bolt on just fine, but if your '03 has bumper-mounted fog lights the '99-'02 ARB won't have the round holes to mount them.

If you decide to buy it be sure the crush cans are straight. I had an ARB on my truck for a few years but got rid of it and went with a Terrafirma. For my taste the ARB was just too much. It extends out in front of the truck more than the lower-profile Terrafirma.

 

You may have to modify the headlight finishers to get it to fit, but that shouldn't be difficult.

 

99-02 D2 bumper on my 04. IMHO it lines up with the fenders better than the 03-04 model. Only difference is the grill shape opening at the top back of the bumper & you don’t notice it to be honest. I prefer the 99-02 ARB look vs the 03-04 myself.

 

 

I really want to find another 99-02 ARB & slap it onto my 97 XD, but no luck in TX so far.

 

Yep That is the bumper. My 03 is silver so I got a good idea of the look from your pics. Thanks

 

No problem at all! I got the clear replacement LED’s from Australia for like 30.00 shipped. I think the clear matches up to the 03-04 better vs the amber ones.

 

man my 99-02 just has orange plastic in those light areas...frustrates me to no end it didn't come with lights. Frustration might stem more from the lack of good flush mounted led lights out there. I'd love to find some quality DOT approved flush fog LED lights to cut the bumper to fit...but I'll keep dreaming

 

You can get clear driving lights from down under that fit in that location. Probably not gonna be super bright, but you can just mount aux lights and use the fog light harness. Then with a Nanocom make the fog’s stay on with hi/lo beam & bingo your done.
