ARB skid plate

Has anyone installed this skid with the ARB Bull bar as well?

Just got under it this evening, and it appears my kit did NOT come with the spacers. Im also struggling to see where these skids screw in towards the front with the bull bar.

Any help would be much appreciated,

 

Hey Curious what did you do?
I also have the arb bull bar with KDSS. Attempted installing the skid plate kit and doing what the instructions suggest (fitting the stone shield between the front skit plate and the welded bracket that extends from it) seemed impossible at first run. I’m thinking of removing the stone shield and try connecting the 2 with the M6 bolts before I attempt again. Overall disappointed with how poor the mounting interface between the 2 is. Was thinking someone did a CAD drawing without actually trying to install them.

 

My setup does not have the KDSS. At first I had some issues fitting but after getting a modified lift to better survey the bottom I was able to get it all set up. I do not believe the KDSS system would impact the skid install.... do you have any photos?

 

Nice that looks slick!
I was so frustrated under that took a break. I’ll take some pictures and share. What seemed be be happening was that the bottom of the stone shield was hitting the welded piece on the front skid plate. Seemed like it was coming at the wrong angle. Do you recall if you took the bull bar’s stone shield completely off before installing the front skid or just loosen and slide it in?

once again thanks for the reply and sharing awesome pictures. PS how are you liking the iron man winch? I had a warm from my last truck that reused but checked the iron man winch out and seemed super nice and also very reasonably priced.

 

Thanks!! The bull-bar guard and its components were left in-place when installed. As some have alluded already (and as I later found out), the ARB skid is easy to bang up. It will protect your underside but one rock and its tin-foil. The Transfercase skid I did not even bother to install after consulting with my mechanic. Its a really strange setup (You have to use the screws holding the transfercase together to bolt it on). Hindsight I should have gone Victory or RCI.

The Ironman winch has been unbelievable. Ive used it a few times on trail and it works fantastic. It also has a breather line that you can run to the top of the firewall or wire into an ARB Diff-breather if you have it. For me thats big as the trails I tend to go on have water crossings so it adds an extra layer of reliability.
