The ARB i saw was on our local 4x4 shop owners dub (i posted on his leaf sprung rear), he had left a nasty dent about the size of my fist on the side, didn't protect his fender worth a damn

Okay,

so one guy dented his fender. Mine didn't protect either of my mirrors but it wasn't the bumpers fault, it was mine aka the driver's.

You should find a better driver, maybe Arlo.

[ArloGuthroJeep]

Psh I have fender damage, Blaine hit a tree, Hunter lost some mirrors, maybe we need someone to drive for all of us

What he said. Once you actually start wheeling it, you will know what he means.
If for some reason you not ready for better bumper, get some tow hooks. They will be much more useful for ya.
As far as sliders go, Kevins,JKS, JCR etc are all good. It's just matter of preference and price.

But im sayins he hit a tree and his arb crumpled back and pushed in the fender nicely, but he was comming down off of a rock at the time. He just needed a better spoter, but he was pissed at the arb giving so easily

Well what does an ARB weigh...100lbs? The ARB is made out of 3/16" steel and 1/4" for the bracketry.

If you want an entire bumper out of 1/4" it'll way a whole lot more...Then again if you hit anything hard enough it'll dent so where do you stop? Dents are part of the game

I hit my ARB, not too hard, and there isn't even a dent. I bet if it would be stock bumper it would crack for sure.

clicky

Don't worry about the air bags... the sensors are really back in the crumple zones in the fenders, so bumper impacts don't effect it much.

You need to see some of the vids of people ramming their ARB's & Trailready bumpers into the rock in Moab...they just slam them into the rock to "aim" their front end up giant ledges

I think Phil has a ARB not sure...he slammed it pretty good coming down off this monsterous rock, didn't phase it.

The ZJ bumpers are a lot less bulky its not fair
