    (Disclaimer, I have spent hours searching TW for the answer)

    OK, it had to happen. My 2012 got severely dinged (by my mother, so I can't be mad about it) by a 2003 Hyundai with a steel bumper. (she back into me in the driveway) Her small car got a scratch and minor crack in the light housing. Mine got the right front end pushed in- to the tune of $2300+!!!:eek:

    I was planning an ARB upgrade for next year, but now looks like I'll be doing it sooner. (like now)

    4WheelParts only lists the 2011 ARB model.

    Where would you recommend getting it? Service and availability are paramount.

    Yes, I will be upgrading the entire suspension very soon after to OME coils and shocks (and Dakar rear leafs). I don't plan on a winch so would you recommend the 885 or 886 coils? I might be going with some skid plates I the future. I see the suspension parts at Toytec and seem to have a good rep here. Are there any other vendors to consider?

    (FYI-I will be out of town and don't know if I will have internet access for the next 3 days)

    Thanks in advance for the advice. I trust you guys.

    If you have a 4 Wheel Parts locally, I'd get it from them to avoid shipping costs.

    Thanks Lex, but no local suppliers or ARB dealers within 250 miles. The one local four-wheel shop would have to order it somewhere too and I pay shipping.

    Thanks Cam!

    When you look at the 2012 ARB model it's listed as $1099 (same as others)

    http://www.autoanything.com/grille-guards/75A5773A0A0.aspx

    But when you look at free shipping (about $200) and the coupon, it looks better.

    There was one vendor/retailer that got poor remarks here, but I forgot the name. How has your experience been with AutoAnything?

    Thanks again Cam,

    I called Auto Everything, the discount code does not apply to ARB products.
    But, the shipping was free :) (ships from ARB warehouse in Washington) and they had one available.

    The salesperson I spoke with, Rich, was very helpful. I ordered it and it should go out in 5 days by freight.

    TYVM,

    Autoanything was great for me personally. Great people and the ordering process was quick and simple. I dont see why the code wouldnt work.. Awh well, free shipping so thats all that matters.

    Thanks again Cham.

    They said that ARB restricts them from under pricing.
    Some other products are excluded in the AA disclaimer, but ARB wasn't specifically mentioned.
