Arb or allpro bumper

AllPro is too flimsy? The Apex weighs in closer to 150 pounds. Great welds, great angles. It take it over a tube bumper.

 

I voted Allpro because there wasn't an option for Bruteforce I like the look much better than ARB personally. It's all personal opinion for looks and I am going the rattlecan route as well. Duplicolor Bed Armour Black Can

 

The All-Pro bumper is stronger than tube bumpers, especially in the "wings" sections. And Demello's mounting scheme is similar to All-Pro's standard bumper, worse than the Apex.

 

neither check out crusin offroad.. he is a custom fabricator here in canada top notch stuff.

 

I really like the rear bumper he does for the Taco. Bit expensive though

 

Thats my fault lol but his front bumper is pritty BA in my books. also here in canada everything is expensive something you guys get in the states could be 800 lets say here it would be closer to 1200-1400 yay Canadian government for the ass raping non smoke giving win... but anyways sorry for thread jack... cough cough crusin offroad....

I love my Allpro bumper, but thats just my opinion.

 

Good god!!!! 150 seems excessive! But def should be far from flimsy

 

Maybe 130... felt like 150. If I had installed a winch I never would have gotten it on the truck by myself, probably wouldn't even have been able to get it off the ground.

I don't know how the 3 piece was made, but the APEX is a beast.

 

ARB or TMJ will require heavier shooks because of their weight.

I went with Bilsteins.

 

There is quite a bit of false information in this thread. Smh

 

I went all pro. I didn't like how the ARB used the top inch or two of the original bumper on the 2012-13. (mostly because mine was tore there. i'm happy with the all pro apex though. looks pretty sharp. haven't had any bumps really.

 

AllPro Apex bumper looks the best IMO.

I'm ordering mine in June.

 

This is the Internet that can't be possible

 

The original all pro bumper's wings would shake at high speed and bend if any of the truck's weight came to rest on them while rock crawling. I removed my light bar and needed a hi lift jack to get the mounting points to line up upon re-install.

The powder coating flakes like it's spray paint. I have experienced that with my all pro bumper, rear bumper, and long travel kit.

I had my bumper for 2-3 years of hard use. It was not bad, but it was certainly not the best. Certianly did not offer enough protection to justify its weight. A one piece design is much better.

 

Yeah, not a chance in hell I was going to buy their three-piece. ***cough cough JUNK cough cough*** Thankfully they introduced the Apex just as I was looking and I got in on the group buy. The Apex really is robust. I had it shipped bare and was able to check out the welds. Solid work. I've had it on there for a year and sometimes still have to stop and stare at it.
