ARB or DOBINSONS bumper

Looking for a bumper that is Airbag compatible

What's people experience between these bumpers?

Is there other options?

ARB is the only one I would install because of their history in testing the bumpers to work with the vehicles safety and crash system engineering.

 

genuine question, how/where is this recorded and filed for the 3rd gen? Is it rated with the NHTSA, if that’s a thing? I find it hard to believe that putting a metal bumper on a vehicle doesn’t alter the results of a manufacturer’s crash test.

*edit: ARB have been reported as “crash tested” but I’m still wondering about this airbag compatible test”.

 

I hear ya.

I think that the dobinsons bumper looks better. More compact and refined.
If it's anything like their suspensions, it should be really good.

 

Both are made in Australia
They're pretty strict about them being rated for protection and be crash tested

Since its australia we're talking about

 

ironman 4x4 has one as well albeit a more hybrid style bumper
