What to do with front bumper?

Ok, I love love love the look of the ARB Bull bar front bumper for the ZJ but I don't know if it would look good on my jeep with the roof rack that I have. I want to get your guys opinion on what I should do. Answer the poll ^^^

I've got the ARB Bull Bumper & I love it. Painted it to match. Haven't got a winch mounted yet, but is on my to do list.

Uhm.... ? which poll..?

Anyway, round tube roof rack, round tube pre-runner bumpers for a smooth look.
At least this is my humble opinion.
I am also going with round tube sliders once I conclude my long arms.

Mock one up with cardboard or Xmas paper tubes. For the cost of an ARB you could possibly buy a welder and the material.

We have the welder and the material, I don't want to copy someone else's design though.

If you have the welder, materials AND skill/knowledge to do it, the answer is obvious.
You'd be able to build the bumper you want for a fraction of the cost. Make your own design and have fun with it...

ARB's arent that strong, they are a great winch bumper, and a great brush guard, but a frind of mine bent the HELL out of an arb driving into some hard packed snow, pretty slowly too. I prefer a boxed bumper over just plate.

This is the plan I drew up for next summer, I want to build this bad.


make it and show me what it would look like!


As for the poll, anything over ARB. thats my two cents.
