Yeah, Thanks Heavens for Todd! I knew I would have to cut it and re-weld it.. didn't realize it would off as much as it was & and the way it was.. the whole thing was kind of shifted one way. for those that don't know, I got a smokin deal on a "Scratch and dent" that didn't fit right.

I don't like the looks of ARB front bumpers but they certainly have more testing and fit repeatability. How many of the other guys do destructive testing?

awe man, hurting my feelings.. :( yeah, I like them. Matches the taco and if you are going to hit a deer (which I had, and will again).. I think it's the best thing out there. maybe not the best looking though, I love the Shrockworks 3rd gen bumper for looks.

So what was the reason for cutting up the bumper mounts? Was it in a wreck previously or something?

Sam you need a Shrockworks front for that thing. Hands down the best looking and most funtional combination. Plus its local... support your local economy. :)

They are EASILY the nicest.. but 900+ ? I know Jim, he is a nice guy.. but dang.. you and I both know it will take like 2months or more after paying for it to get it. That is just too damn long man. I could probably spend less than 2 months looking on CL and find an ARB for less than $500.00 which is the route I am leaning.

I asked Steve at CBI for any deals.. he had a bumper laying around another customer ordered that didn't fit. Steve said I would probably have to beat the hell out of it to get it on. It was a "Smokin" deal, so I jumped on. Luckily.. Todd was there to cut it and re-weld it. There is no way Beating it would get it on there.. it was shifted to one side pretty bad.
