I have the ARB 3432060 bumper and really like it. It's beefy, and ARB does a better job powdercoating than most. I don't like the look of the RTE or tactical bumpers, and the Terrafirma bumper is great for many reasons, but doesn't protect the front grille and lights.

Nice Bumper and from what I hear, they are pretty strong.

The tactical rover is quite strong, the center is boxed in and reinforced. No twisting or anything from sideways winching. Powdercoat was nice and even.

Bumper End Cap - Front Right Hand - Genuine (Genuine Part # RTC5695) - Land Rover body panels/fittings/trim exterior from Atlantic British

Is that what you need?
Look into salvage yards if you need the whole bumper.

I like my RTE bumper, brushed up against trees and Jetta's (oops) with it and it is holding up quite well.

I like the look of the tactical rover as a more typical bumper look rather than a bull bar.

At least with them you are getting a new one for the same price I have found used ones in the salvage yards.
