    C4Fab. I have the overland for over a year now and still haven’t seen a bumper out there that I like better

    I ended up going with ARB. Main reason was the price. I only paid half of what they retail for. Install was a major PITA though.

    I'm actually in the middle of installing my ARB currently. Totally agree, major PITA. I think it's got to be the most complicated front bumper install out there.

    Yeah, I’ve reviewed the instructions and it seems like the primary mission was to make it difficult to install!

    Love the bumper though, and it’s high on my list. Would pay for pro install if I went that route.

    Just as a follow up on my TJM front bumper... my Icon Stage 2 without cranking the fronts down caused some rubbing while hitting some trails in Baja and ultimately tore the underguard nearly off (and made the passenger side come down slightly). I reached out to Wes at TJM and is sending me a new set— no questions asked. I think this says a lot about a company... especially since it wasn’t even due to their product being defective. So lesson learned— 285s with the Icon factory setting is not going to work when you intend to stuff the tires

    Good to know. Did you buy it direct from TJM?
    I got mine from Toytec lifts. No problems so far. 20180602_233530.jpg

    I did buy directly, but I don’t feel that was a factor as I didn’t even have to show proof of purchase.
