ARB will definitely be heavier but that's the advantage to tube bumpers, lighter weight. I just like the look of plate bumpers more though personally

Also I think the OME Nitrocharger kit is a solid setup, go with the Icons if you plan on really using them offroad but otherwise I think the OME kit is a good deal

 

I was in the same dilemma. Got a daily and ended up going TG and OME cause of $$$ and like them a lot.

I figured by the time I start pushing the truck enough to learn what I like/don't like, and want out of it, it'd be time to replace the suspension anyway in 4-5 years.

Now I'm leaning ADS when it's time...but the OME is treating me well.

Do recommend the daily mod though.

 

I love both and will hopefully have both forever.
I say "daily" but I like driving the truck so much too it's about 50/50 really. Plus it's nice not having to worry about people slipping into me while it's icy or door dings haha.

 

The air bnb I got is fucking perfect. Sitting on the beach at Newport Beach.

 

I mean the Apex bumpers are pretty light, they're one of the thinnest plate bumpers made. Once you out a winch in that's all out the door though haha

 

jesus if this one's the lighter one Id hate to try and put on a heavier one solo

 

How much did it weigh with all your brackets on? My hybrid without a winch was 98lbs, with my winch and synthetic cable (saved quite a bit of weight) I was near 130. I put on my relentless a few times with a floor jack, motorcycle jack was easier though, and the under brackets kept it straight. For the hybrid I used a chain around the hoop and lifted with the engine hoist

 

I just looked it up, All Pro doesn't list the weight but LROR has the Apex listed as being 100lbs without the hoops like mine.
Luckily the bottom of it is flat so it was relatively easy to balance it on the floor jack, problem was the jack didn't lift it high enough so I had to balance it on a couple blocks of wood too. Barely missed my foot a couple times when I misjudged the balance

 

I got my TG bumper on by myself

 

The all pro tube bumper is like 65lb

 

Well yeah it's like half the material lol

 

I installed my bumper with the winch on it by myself. Do I get a cookie?

 

You can have a handie

 

Yeah, I sent him one already. In gray.

 

Handie not handle

 

No you get a hernia

 

A handie? He didn’t even buy me dinner first.

 

He owes you a birthday handie
