I picked up my ARB bumper today. I hope to get a chance to install it in the coming weeks.

Did you buy it new?

 

[grandpa]

Yes, I got it from 4Wheel Parts. It took about 3 weeks to get to the east coast. Free freight since I picked it up from their store in Raleigh.

Grandpa, what are your plans with your existing bumper? Mine could use a refresh....

I'm not sure. Mine is cut for the front receiver and drilled for the lights. See my previous post on the bumper mods.

So Grandpa nice ride! So your 2000 Monty is full time 4x4 all the time?

 

[nwoods]

Well, that might be okay. Really all I need is the slatted vent grill below the chrome piece...

No it's part time 4x4 as stock.

I may need to use that part. I'll see after in install the ARB bumper.

Oh ok, just that your 1st post stated full time 4x4 and that threw me off lol...the few you found in your surrounding area where they over priced or did ya do much haggling?

I stated that wrong as "full-time 4x4" is selectable as 4H verses 4HCL, sorry for the confusion. At the time I was looking there were very few Monteros in this area. I was waiting for a SR but I couldn't find one close by in decent shape. When this one was listed for $4500 I went right away and ended up paying $4000. I know this may be high in some areas but I was ready purchase and the Montero was clean and well maintained. I rarely see a Montero SR available around here.
