My anniversary is coming up, and I need to pull the trigger on one of these. I REALLY like the AEV bumper, but is it really 600 dollars better than the ARB? I would be perfectly happy with the ARB, but I was reading an install write-up and it requires cutting off the cans on the Jeep and/or cutting into the ARB bumper to make it fit, or something to that effect. Doe anyone know how many modifications need to be made to install these bumpers on a 2010? I have a socket set and most tools, but I don't have a plasma cutter or welder or anything crazy like that. Thanks for your time.

 

I think both are nice but the AEV is crazy sexy to me.

 

I love the AEV as well. It looks like it belongs on a JK. Whether its worth $1200 is another matter.

 

AEV.....

 

1200 bucks for a bumper? from a company like that? naw...

 

Buy American AEV!!! but I also am struggling with this one I really would be content with the ARB Deluxe.

 

AEV released the milspec for the reason of the huge price on their regular bumper, for their fancy front bumper i loved it from the second i saw it. But the same goes for ARB. I never heard any bad things about either of them so where you put the money surely you'll get a good Solid* product.

Gettign it on is the rest of the battle

 

man your wife must really love jeepin if she wants a bumper for her anniversary present. Thats awesome, cause none of the chicks I know would want to get that.

 

AEV has a very good product so has ARB, but the ARB looks very Australian (bullbar) & suits a Landcruiser. In my opinion the AEV looks better on a Jeep

 

ARB looks amazing on. Pictures dont due it justice. Plus it is a brick shithouse. AEV is overpriced like all their stuff.
