ARB Bull Bar front bumper

[tomsjeep]

I have one on my Wrangler, and hope to have one on my Libby (as soon as money issues clear up).
It's beefy and really well-designed, fits well and looks like it should have come from the factory that way. The bumper includes light tabs, additional signal lights, tabs for d-rings and includes a version with a built-in winch mount.

Within the past 6 months, I've had two incidents where drivers have failed to yield, much to their dismay and unhappiness. This includes leaving a huge gouge along the side of a full-sized Chevy Tahoe SUV that turned left in front of me. My bumper has only a scratch on the finish!

With this bumper installed, you can rest assured that it will be the other guy that has to explain to his friends/family/insurance company about "crumple zones", and when the police come over to your Jeep and ask "Can you show me your damage?" you'll be able to smile really big and answer "no, I don't see any, do you?"

(disclaimer: not my Jeep pictured, but one from ARB's website, since I couldn't get the one depicted on our host's site to display)

i've been tossin around the idea of that ARB for a while. but how much does it weigh? you think it would sag the front of my YJ? my main concern is the fact that its flant/blunt up front. whereas a stinger type bumper has that angle that can really help you off road. i see that ARB making some obstacles harder when a stinger type makes them easier by getting the front wheels up on the rock, log, or whatever it is....

Its weight varies with the particular model, from 100 to 130 pounds.
And yes, if you plan on climbing vertical rocks, this bumper is not for you... get a stubby with a stinger for that.
But for general all-around Jeeping, you'd be hard pressed to beat this thing.

I snagged a low hanging wire sometime ago... without that front hoop, I'd have ended up with a broken windshield and damaged hood. As it was, the wire pulled up tight on the hoop, stretched then gave then snapped (unfortunate for the poor Honda behind me). Left a few scuff marks that I was able to scrub off but none the worse for wear.
