    Kinda undecided about it. Fitment leaves a little to be desired but since I just got married funds are limited and it was basically free since I hit a deer so I'll run it for now and see how I like it.

    They are CREE LED's they are pretty bright at night.....they work well when opening gates....so you can see the ground pretty well of rattlers. The HID pro comps are brighter.

    The only thing I dislike about the ARB bumper is the vibration....it shakes a bit so I re-enforced the bumper on the inside but the bumper shake is coming from the frame.....ive done some research and some people strengthen the frame to less the bumper shake. It does not shake as much now but you just have to ignore the shake. And FJ cruiser owners have the same issue as well.

    You are the first person I've heard say an ARB is flimsy.

    Haha oh yeah I have no doubt you destroyed that car.
    Well, they are. The ARB is made to crush in an accident, very similar to the stock crush bar. That's what makes it "street legal". My buddy has wrecked it twice and both times crushed the inside part having to replace it. Now it is convenient and I'd say it's a good thing about the bumper cause it makes it more street safe for you and the rest of the truck but the bumper itself is def made out of lesser material then most off-road bumpers. I didn't get out a tape measure but I'd guess the outer shell is no bigger then 1/8" where most seem to be 3/16"

    Maybe flimsy isn't the right word but it's def less stout then the other off-road bumpers I've handled. Although I was also surprised to see how thin my buddy's demelo bumper on his 4runner is as well

    Looks really interesting. I will say I very much dislike the fairlead position. You are essentially making a rub point from the get go. Which if not watched could ruin your rope. And pretty much disallows for wire cable.

    Interesting. It says "coming soon in 2014". Did they scrap it or is it supposed to come out in the next 3 months i wonder? I wish they showed the 5 different configurations.

    I saw this setup at Overland Expo back in May. Pretty cool, but a bit too busy for my likes. And I agree with ^^ about the fair lead placement.
