i just check elite and they aren't taking orders for the front bumpers and 750 is too much for me

 

Arb isn't the only other one that makes bumpers.

Allpro is just garbage and terrible customer service for most.


Check out cbi, ato, elite, relentless, pelfreybuilt, brute force fab, demello

 

If $750 is too much but you're willing to spend $650 on a substandard bumper then you should wait and save your money.

Watch the group buy section. There's always deals.

 

well i mean i like the standard style… i don't like the extra protection bar above the bumper

 

yeah i got what he's saying… but I'm saying is that every other brand is more expensive than the next

 

Yea because they are a lot better. They are cut and welded together. Allpro is shit steel that you bolt together yourself. Then you wait and see what makes it fall apart first.. The rust, the bolts loosening up and falling out, or an impact.

There's no point in spending the money at all if you aren't going to get one designed to do what it looks like it can do. I'd rather get in an accident with the stock bumper than an allpro bumper. I saw a guy wreck his headlight, fender, fender flare, hood, radiator, radiator support, grille, and probably some other things by lightly glancing off a tree offroading. Something that all the other bumpers can do and laugh about. His bumper just folded and fucked everything up

And to be honest, you said you don't like the arb with the extra protection on it? We'll guess why it's there lol. The fact that I don't have grille and headlight protection on my front bumper is my biggest complaint about it. But I'll fix that eventually.

 

But does the bumper stick out further than everything?

 

My biggest complaint about the ARB is loss of approach angle because the bumper sticks out further than the others. The hoops help to let you know where your corners are though, and the added headlight/radiator protection is nice.

 

good info.

 

ok well i mean id like to see them in person… but the guy around the corner from me that has the truck that looks like jlinks has the standard bumper on the front… i just don't know what brand

 

Of course his is your favorite

 

You should order one. It might be on your doorstep by November for installation with your lift

 

I cant say anything about their product but i can tell you that their customer service SUCKS

^^this lol

 

FTFY

 

so I'm guessing we are not gonna be going to the stage house this week for food

 

What? Yea it's a bumper, they all stick out further than everything. If by everything you mean grille, head lights, hood, etc.

Exactly.

 

what about body armor? are they a good brand

 

I think they look ugly. Too big. But that's just my opinion. Choose what you want.
