Best deal on an ARB bumper for my 95

[MikeV]

I found one new on E-bay for $845 (including shipping)

Sounds almost 2 cheap?

 

Figured if Wife is going to kill me it should be soon; snorkel, brakes; and a few other things showed up yesterday and I had no idea the snorkel came in a HUGE box. (I have the UPS dude hide my stuff behind the side porch) but the big box gave it away.

If she goes in the garage I'm done for.

 

Bumper and a winch and I can stop spending for a while. Is there a name for being addicted to upgrading your Pathy?

 

 

 

Linkity to it

Hope the link werks

Dude you could have a custom bumper made for less than that. The ARB looks good, but I think you'd be paying more for the name. I'm sure a good metal shop could make a similar design for less than that. That's just my opinion, I'm too cheap to drop +$800 on a bumper though.

i personally love my ARB. i dont think i could have gotten one made for as cheap as i got it (used off of ebay luckily) but once i got it it would have been worth every penny to buy it new!

You can probably get a new one trough AC for less.

 

I'd probably buy a KMA bumper before I bought an ARB though.

Why would you do that? The KMA bumpers have had fitment issues in the past, not to mention, they're shoddy customer service. What downfall do you see with the ARB?

[sammyb33]

i see none.

 

 

Although i have heard people say their thickness leaves something to be desired?

I've seen no issue. I've done some hard pulling with mine, which, by the way, is modified for the 3" body lift, and was towed quite a ways off a trail when my old truck died, with no power, and have had no issues with it's strength.

 

I'll be installing a winch in it, hopefully before next wheeling season, and will give it a full test then, but I suspect there'll be no issues. There are quite a few folks in my local club running them on Xterra's that have done heavy winching and theirs are holding up fine.

Guess it is just the fact that Kyle ( the owner of KMA) is a member of NOAS and a friend of Nate's (one of NOAS's old timers) and where he gets all his work done, is what makes me even suggest the company as an option. Guess I just know who to bitch at if things don't happen....

10-4. If you have that option, I'd say you'd be fine with a KMA bumper.
