C'mon, nature of the beast my friend. Businesses can't price adjust down for every past customer; the market and supply/demand rates change throughout the year, as do competitors' price schedules. Our Bull Bars remain a very good value at the $900 shipped we paid.

 

The Blitz light might fit. then again they could just be a tiny bit to big. Its hard to say without having a set. The striker, and the lance will fit. The reason why is because of the forward sloping hoop. The hoop can be reversed if you would like (you just have to request it) or Expedition One will can do a custom hoop as-well.

If you would like I can check on monday to see if the the Blitz will fit...

 

I think I'm just going to get the ARB.

The price is much more competative and thier reputation is top notch. I give your company, Expedition One, credit for trying to make things right on my rear bumper but I've been left with a sour taste. A $50 credit on a $1400 bumper and the promise of one day getting a CB mount isn't exactly what I was expecting. At this point I'm having my own CB mount custom fabricated for the rear as I have parts sitting in my garage that, to be honest, I'm not going to wait 2-3 months to install.

No one I've seen has reported a problem with the ARB bumpers (unlike the numerous posts about the powder coating and shipping issues on E1). The look matches the lines of the Jeep better. And at $200 cheaper BEFORE I add in the $100+ for shipping you charge its a no brainer, ARB hands down.

 

my problem with the ARB (and I personally LIKE the arb) is the lack of tow points on the one with the foglights.

I also dont like the amber lights.

personally I would go with the XHD Rugged ridge, with the end caps and overrider.

 

They have tow points.

The amber lights don't bother me, but that's easy to address.

 

You can compare two Jeeps - one has ARB and Expedition One Front Bumper

I love my Expedition One Front Bumper.

 

Yeah, you're right. The ARB does look A LOT better. No comparison. Thanks for sharing.

 

ARB, 400 to 500 dollars cheaper, and better looking.

 

I think I would look at this one.

Honestly everyday we are negotiating with MFG's and our shipping companies to offer better deals to you the consumer.

The bad part is we dont know when this happens until it happens.

And when we get the deals we lower the prices on our products almost immediately.
