    M60 or M4? Which one is better? The mission defines the optimum equipment.

    The bumpers are designed for different purposes.

    Maybe someone can gather all the data and put together a chart for comparison purposes. Features, dimensions, weight, approach angle, price, accessories, etc.

    For me. Spending that much money. I wanted the safety factor of the ARB. Don't want a $1000 bumper that dosnt keep deer out of my lap

    On ttora there is a similar thread and Freeze had a nice write-up of comparing the 2 bumpers, I'd copy and paste it here but i'm on my phone maybe someone else would be so kind!

    Either one (Relentless or ARB) is a great choice
    Eric is a great guy and has helped me out with questions and I don't even have a 2nd gen. truck.

    ARB and Relentless have 2 of the best bumpers on the market IMO. I can't wait to see what Armor Tech makes.

    wherw it bolt together is the place where is bends. Believe me I have a bent one (prev owner hit an Audi) and I'm in the process of bending it back.

    I have the AP bumper and I really dig it. Not to mention I got great customer service from the crew over there.

    Although, if I have to do it all over again, I'd get the Relentless. IMO the ARB doesn't look too appealing.

    I'm new.
    I wanted an arb, but I dont like that it will decrease my performance... I like their reputation.
    And I like the fact that it fits a beer can on it...
    I plan on running into mooses and bears and dinosaurs on the road... maybee trees.
    I want good approach...

    The only way I will get what I want is if I build one... I build everything myself.
    It will be the tits.

    Anyone have a pic of a smashed relentless so far? or do the owners like to keep them looking pretty...

    Nightstr, that looks badass. Was the loop the only thing that required cutting?

    I'm still probably going to build my own.
    I want it to stick out farther than the relentless stuff does, i'm really serious about the beer thing...
