    I was leaning torward the All-Pro bumper, but you have to buy there skid plate, it will not work with the stock style... :/Elite's web page says they are not taking any orders at this time, and normal turn around time is 3 months... Not sure im OK with anyone holding that much money for that long.... Is that how long you waited???

    I prefer the plate bumpers over the tube bumpers as well, but I do like the lightweight factor of the tube bumpers. If I had to chose and money wasn't a factor, It'd be Relentless front and rear, but since the g/f already got the Trail Gear front tube bumper for me for Christmas, I guess I'm gonna go with the TG rear bumper, as well. I think it'll look good.

    I actually waited close to 5 months because Tim had school to finish, and a bunch of other issues came up but it was well worth the wait IMO id do it again haha

    That's about what the wait is for Relentless, too. Perfection can't be rushed lol

    Yea.. I guess....Maybe I am not very trusting.. I mean $50.. maybe, but to have nearly $1000 in limbo for 3 months makes me a little queasy, 5 months makes me down right sick.. LOLI am sure the wait is worth it once its there, but in the mean time....

    I agree. It's not so much of a trust issue with me, especially with Relentless, Elite, All-Pro or any other company associated with TW…but the wait is what would kill me. That's one reason I'm glad my g/f went with Trail Gear b/c Summit Racing has it and there's one like 15 mins from my house :D

    oh yea, trust me, I know. Plate steel is not cheap to stock and neither are the tools to build them. I am just funny about my money and givien such a long turn around time. However, I would most likely do it if I had the money....

    Plate bumper generally with a winch mount takes away approach angle over tube from my personal experience.. I did like plate as well before I got my tube bumper but I wouldn't change if I could!

    found this and thought this thread was a good place for it.

    Pretty cool video. ARB isn't for everyone but the engineering and quality work behind them is impressive.
