Whats funny though it just barely cracked my bumper and knocked the light out ,but damn it f"d up her poopy mustang bad...giving me an excuse to get bumpers.

Appreciate it,
Brant

I checked around for the TJM I have on mine, and can't seem to find them available in the States, but I LOVE this bumper and personally I think it looks better than the ARB. I am building a rear for mine, so I can't help you there.

x2 on the tjm. when mine finaly gets replaced thats the one i'll be looking for. they are lower profile than the arb.

Having owned a TJM I can tell you they are pretty weak and lack recovery points without the winch tray.
If you don't off road very hard it may be fine for you.

get a RTE bumper if you want something strong, if you're going for looks get an ARB without the crush cans (and if you can, box it in and add some supports underneath).

Mine is the same. I've got backed into twice , and their car got f'd up , and mine had only two paint scratches on it

Its all about what you like really.

Im about 50/50 on looks, functionality, so I like the ARB personally. And its airbag approved = peice of mind.

Best Bang for buck? Homemade.

Kidding aside, most folks recommend rovertym. I like the fact you can accually customize your order to how you like it.

I've been told safari guard is the best, but I've never accually seen one. $$$

I've been told that ARB's are not as good as they advertise, but they are good for the 'average' user. And they are great looking bumper, as are TJM's. Both are Airbag approved, so it satisfies your insurance company.

Overseas, Devon 4x4 makes some pretty sick bumpers, and after shipping they are about on par as a safari guard. They are probably the best off-road bumper I've seen because it basically is like not having a bumper at all. A couple guys around here run them.

Oh and yes a winch of course .. If I'm already spending the money for a bumper might as well get another excuse for a winch which is always handy when you need some serious help. And that is adds some beefcake to the front end for added eyecandy.
