Heya,
I'm currently the proud owner of Imnosaint's '03 Montero Limited, and one of the things I wanted to add to it early on was a new bumper to replace the plastic one that was on there by default.
As luck had it, Eurosonic was selling his old ARB bumper (from an FJ), so we went up to his place to pick it up a while back. As it required some welding to install, I dropped my car off at my mechanic (Orange County Off Road and Auto Repair in Huntington Beach, CA) to get it installed.
Here are some pictures of the car before, during and after the install:
As the bumper wasn't fully made for a gen 3, it required some adjustments to the plastic grill, but that was just a minor adjustment. Also, the window washer fluid bottle was in the way and had to be replaced by a smaller reservoir. Other than that, it does add some more protection to the car, and some extra stability for the extra lights.
