    I am in love with the fang look on my T4R its been keeping me away from a front bumper. Interested in the SSO Slimeline Hybrid and I get to keep the fangs.

    I'm not really seeing all that much of a savings on ebay type bumpers. $100-$200 maybe? None that i can really compare to an arb as far as they type of bumper it is.

    Not the prettiest bumper out there but I'm not really trying to spend that kind of money for looks. Usability/quality comes first for me :)

    Lolololol that thing is sick! Probably really sick on the wallet as well :taco:

    Yeah the one i had on my '93 land cruiser was killer. Always been an ARB fan, I just didnt know if there was something matching their quality with a comparable price at the same damn time.

    You've got a lot of options beyond ARB... Pelfreybilt, CBI, Demello, Relentless, C4, SSO, Mobtown, etc. If you like the look of ARB go with them for sure. Proven quality. I'm loving my C4. And my experience with Pelfrey has been very good. Not of fan of Relentless quality. ARB's are heavy though so if you care about weight you might look elsewhere

    If only marriage worked that way :D. But if we were to get technical, everything is under her name primarily. She nudged me out on credit score so I got secondary. So all the vehicles and house are HERS. She just allows me usage and a place to sleep. And I'm OK with that :thumbsup:

    Ha. Yeah. I knew it going in but it's worth it. She likes to hold it over me. Redheads are always looking for weaknesses :spy:

    I could get away with anything if I got a puppy first... which is actually the first plan when we move. So I'll have a brief window ;)

    For the price of the arb you can get a bumper an wincher. The rear bumper is hella beefy to seent one in person but these guys made me get a HC rear still on order. Peer pressure is a nasty thing.
