Default Looking for ARB or TJM bumper

I am looking to upgrade my stock front bumper and brush guard to a steel bumper in the near future. The TJM and ARB bumper would be top on my list as far as my needs and what I think looks good, but I cant really justify the $1,100 for a new ARB bumper.

If anyone has leads on used ones I would appreciate any that can be provided. If I cannot source one locally I will probably end up going with a Terrafirma bumper and headlight guards.

Thanks,

Matt

Both look decent both neither is heavy duty enough. Have you looked at RTE Fabrication?

TJM is nice, but very funky winch mount... ARB is nice, but bigger, approach angle kind isn't as good, and the winch is kind of 'hidden', which is a little issue since you can't really see what the line is doing as you are winching in.

I just replaced my ARB with a Tactical Rovers... TR is solid, good approach angle, and proper winch mount

I've done my due diligence of the different bumpers which are available and feel that those two offer the best solution for what I am looking for. The truck will be used primarily in S. Florida so rocks and approach angles are of somewhat less significance than in other parts of the country.

Primussucks do you still have your ARB bumper, and if so would you be willing to sell?

Friend of mine is going to heavily modify a TJM into a tight/closer bumper with a stinger.

I have an ARB and I'd highly recommend it, with that said I'd also tell you to look at the RTE Welding and Fabrication bumper prior to that. But with the deal Zach offers you, I wouldn't pass that up.
