Suggestions for Replacement for OEM Front Bumper?

Under consideration is replacing the OE bumper with one that is more animal resistant than current bumper.

I've been looking at the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar 3423130 w/ yellow fog lights since the truck has the OE foglights installed.

Any suggestions or alternatives?

Best dealer prices out there, etc.

 

This topic has been covered so many times it's not funny anymore. Try searching and you will find all the threads covering this. I have an ARB and love it.

 

arb is great. But if you are willing to wait i would go shrockworks.

here is a link with pictures

Alternative to ARB is TJM's new bumper. I think somebody just quoted it at $950. Winch ready, perfect match with fenders, comes in black.

Im guessing this is the TJM Alloy? The TJM steel looks identical to ARB

 

This bumper is brand new, and I'm pretty sure it's steel.

 

Thank you Traveler, the TJM certainly looks beefy and appears that it would stand up to animal strikes.

 

Lol, it's australian made just like the ARB-it's designed to.

 

Be aware that the weight of the ARB will mean you will need to beef up the front suspension

If you don't intend on lifting of replacing the stock suspension I would suggest an aluminum front bumper , good animal strike protection at only 55-65 lbs , several vendors make them including RelentlessFab , Elite Offroad , and Aluminess
