two of my favorites.

 

Thank u!

 

Those prices are in CAD, my bad, I believe Trail Gear has a US site tho.

 

ARB is cheap compared to other plate bumpers. You can still get one for $866 (with free shipping) while US companies are dealing with higher steel prices and passing the cost on to you.

TG is your best bet as far as cost is concerned, but you have to like tube bumpers.

 

Not a h

not a huge fan of tube bumpers and thx for the information

 

If can weld, or know someone that does, Northwest Trail Innovations makes weld-it-yourself kits.

Also https://www.coastaloffroad.com/ if you can weld

 

If near 900 is pricey, your 3 option are:

- buy used
- weld yourself bumper
- tube bumper

Most plated bumper are 900+

You can also add an ARB bumper to your eBay watch list, then just wait until they run one of their site wide 15-20% off coupons (which usually have a max discount of $100) and essentially get one for $766 shipped.

 

Autoanything will occasionally send out some coupons also on the ARB’s

 

Good to know. Seems like every time I've looked on their site during one of their sales, it excludes ARB stuff. I'll have to keep a closer eye out for that.

 

Generally, their coupons exclude ARB stuff...but, they recently sent me one that didn’t (even had the bumper in my cart, but couldn’t pull the trigger)

 

Holy cow there stuff looks good thanks I will definitely be looking into this company

 

Love my shrockworks bumper, but not cheap. It around 1200 shipped.

how much does it weigh ? And it looks fantastic

 

Thanks. According to their website it’s about 100 lbs. no winch, bumper only. I add another 50-60 for the winch (synthetic rope). I absolutely love it. Only downside is it’s a 4 month turnaround from time of order. But it’s worth the wait.

 

Currently looking into MOVE bumpers they just seem a little bulky anyone running them ?

 

If I recall correctly they don't have a winch option for our trucks.

OP, the ARB is without a doubt the best deal for a front bumper on our trucks, it comes fully painted, outfitted and ready to install. When you factor in everything needed to get another bumper ready to install, even the diy kits it usually comes out breaking even, but you'll spend more time.
