    No. The price is $994.50 plus tax (if you live in CALIF) and plus shipping.

    I am finding ARB's for a little less. I am leaning towards ARB.

    I subb'd too. Want to know more.

    So far the ARB has caught my eye.

    I'd like to know (with direct comparison to the ARB):

    • What is the mounted weight? (and shipped weight separately)
    • What gauge steel?
    • Is it "Air-bag Certified" (whatever that means)?
    • Does it interfere with mounting other brands of skid plates (ohter than Budbuilt mentioned)?
    • It looks like it reuses the factory fog lights True?
    • Can you add recovery points?
    • Does it have lift points?
    It would be nice to hear directly to a factory rep.:)

    Looks beefy. I like it. That silver truck is nasty (minus the brotastic grille).

    I will hopefully be mounting mine in the next few weeks. If anyone wants pictures of a specific area, pre or post mounting, let me know. I mounted the winch to it already, as well as the fog lights. The way the lights mount is a little screwy, and I was particularly hamfisted that day so i broke one of four mounting tabs on each light, but they are still rock solid. JB weld to the rescue!

    I am still deciding between ARB and TJM.

    Please send pics of the TJM install as soon as you can.

    Looks nice if you're running a safari expedition out of Africa. I wonder how much that badboy weighs?

    Any chance you might offer this deal again? I return from my deployment in a few months and was looking into a bumper like this. Killer deal for sure.
