ALLPRO VS ARB

ARB.



Anyone who says it doesn't look mean hasn't been on the receiving end of it.

 

I keep posting it cause it never gets old!

 

My biased vote goes to ARB. But, I dont believe the Relentless was available quite yet when I got mine.

 

I love my Allpro front and rear. I don't have a single complaint yet. I don't go balls out into a tree or anything lol. I heard the second gen of the front is a bit stronger.

 

Bet the ARB saved him about 5k

 

dont hit rocks under your wings silly goose. you have it all wrong. rocks go under tires, not bumpers.

I have hit my all pro going off ledges and it is just a good a new. Works fine being winched from extreme angles as well.

For the average internet wheeler on this forum any bumper works just fine

 

Uh huh.

 

Mine weighs 160

 

YEAH WELL MY TRUCK FELL OFF A 1000FT LEDGE. MID FALL, MY ALLPRO DEPLOYED A PARACHUTE AND I FLOATED SAFELY BACK TO EARTH. NO DAMAGE, NO CHIPPED PAINT.

 

Californian = automatic invalid opinion

 

I love seeing just how much support I get on this site from owners of my products.
Thanks guys.

 

OY , was that necessary ? I only posted once .

 

Really like my ARB, Relentless makes great products as well.

 

So much bullshit in this thread it's amazing anyone looking for information comes to this site.

It's simple, the two bumpers were designed for two entirely different purposes.

ARB is designed to protect the vehicle at all cost. It does this by using a bunch of steel and tube.
Pros:
Hit large animals and vehicle is not compromised and can get you home.
Hit trees and vehicle is not compromised and can get you home.
Hit small cars and host vehicle is not compromised and can get you home.
Cons:
Antiquated design, think steel wheels vs aluminum - Heavy, harms your trucks performance.
Reduced approach angle compared to hybrid designs currently on the market.
Hit something hard enough and your trucks frame will deform before the bumper.

AllPro decided that their primary goal was performance.
Pros:
Incredible approach angle (especially the newest version)
Very lightweight, this helps your trucks suspension, brakes, acceleration perform well.
Very well thought out and designed, thick plate steel where it needs to be, lighter plate steel where it should be. Winch mount is better located than ARB and shackle points are where you need them.
Easy to repair, modular design allows replacement of parts if damaged.
Cons:
Will deform if you hit a tree, car, large animal BUT host vehicle will still get you home. I have done it.

If you are building a performance, crawler, expedition truck - AllPro
If you are building a trailblazing, pioneer road making truck - ARB

 

Relentless FTW!!!!

 

Sounds like a fair assessment to me. Not everybody wants/needs the same thing. People that use their trucks for only offroad would prob want the heavier ARB, people that also use it as a commuter may want the AP.
