Default deer vs stock bumper

Driving home the other night and a deer ran out in front of me. The rover is fine, first and foremost, but the stock plastic bumper didn't make it. I think now is a good time to switch to an ARB bumper. Is ARB THE only place to get a bumper and brush guard or does someone else make anything worth while?

This is the one I replaced my broken front bumper with. I can fit a 9000 lbs winch on it with no modification to the grill.

Ill take a picture of mine later and attach it.

I like that is that the ARB bumper. How much does it weigh would I have to change the front shocks to HD or would stock hold the weight?

I picked it up and installed it on my own with no lift. For specifics contact Lucky8 (716) 898-8153.

Martin that is the Platinum Motorsports front bumper carried by Lucky8. Cost a lot less than a new ARB bumper. If memory serves they are going for just under $700 new

Looks good Luke surprised to see snow out your way.
