Install ARB bull bar on FJ Cruiser

[@Taltas]

I got the Badlands Apex with the wire rope to better align with the ARB's mounting, and thus didn't have to cut the gap yours required. I already had the bumper installed by the original owner though, and so this video was a TON of help to make sure I was unbolting it the right way.

[@wayfaringoverlander]

I’m really glad to hear the video was helpful. I know I could have avoided notching out the bumper if I kept a roller fairlead. I also made a video showing how to rotate or click the winch if you need to move the clutch to access from the top hole in the bumper.

[@Taltas]

Yeah that video was very helpful as well, I am planning to do that tonight. I actually wasn't aware you COULD do that, crazy the things you can learn on KZbin, so double thanks!@@wayfaringoverlander

[@wayfaringoverlander]

@@Taltas I had to learn the bumper and winch rotation on my own as a trail and error. Take care. You can also DM me on instagram @wayfaring_overlander -cheers, Mark

Bumper looks great!

[@wayfaringoverlander]

Thanks Steve, couldn’t have done it without your help!

[@eh2bseries]

This will make my install much easier. Appreciate the video

[@wayfaringoverlander]

@@eh2bseries I’m glad to hear that! That’s exactly why I made this video, so others could benefit.

I did the same thing I looked everywhere and I could not find a video. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I’m going to get one for Jeep grand Cherokee and I’m sure it’ll be very different, but this gives me a great context thank you again!

[@wayfaringoverlander]

I love these kinds of comments where people are glad they could learn something from this video. I just wanted to see what the whole thing looked like. Since nobody made a video I thought I better do it! If you have any questions DM me on instagram, same name (Wayfaring_Overlander)

[@wayfaringoverlander]

Let me know how the bumper turned out. Also look me up on instagram at Wayfaring Overlander 😊

[@thevirtualcockpit5001]

All you need now is a dynamic recovery rope. Looks a lot warmer there than here. Nice install bro....

[@wayfaringoverlander]

Thanks G! Miss you guys.

I had to use an offset fairlead for my bumper on my Tacoma as opposed to drilling new holes.

[@wayfaringoverlander]

@@mattnah8352 you gotta do whatever works for you in your set up… that’s what I came to realize. Thanks for the comment 👍

What did you do the secure the inner fender liner? I bought a used ARB, so this has been very helpful. Great video. Thank you.

[@wayfaringoverlander]

I’m glad to know it was helpful. As far as the lining goes, I have no expert advice. I trimmed the inner lining and as of right now I have zip-tied it to the bumper. You can call ARB corporate depending on your country, and get technical assistance over the phone. I have called them in the past. They may or may not be able to help in this situation. Feel free to hit me up on instagram at the same name! Cheers 👍

Looks awesome I’m waiting for mine to come in and I’m so glad you posted this thanks again! I ordered the inserts for the fog lights for the bumper but where did you get the lights that are in the inserts?

[@wayfaringoverlander]

Thank you for your comment! I’m so glad to know people can benefit from this video. The turn signal lights in the inserts came with the fitment package. You’re going to get two items, the bumper boxed and heavily wrapped and a second box with all the fitment gear, like brackets, bolts etc. feel free to DM me on Instagram at wayfaring_overlander as well.

[@coleschronicle8796]

Okay awesome thank you again I will probably be taking you up on the offer!

[@greg9033]

How long did the project take?

[@wayfaringoverlander]

As you can see I’m wearing several different outfits. 😂 it took me 3-4 hours of solid work, but I stretched the project out over several months because it gets 120 degrees in the summer in AZ.

[@wayfaringoverlander]

It’s super important to prep all the nuts and bolts for the project
