On the other hand if you like the straighter lines of the ARB then that's an excellent choice as well.
Yours is set up as a toad I see. What tow bar set up did you go with?
I sure like both bumpers. I would also have to have the turn signal holes filled in if I go with the ARB. Don't need 2 sets of them !!

I'd do the ARB. I really like the AEV but the $$$$ is a lot. If you got to Northridge they have the ARB for $900 shipped. Plus if you use the promo code thanks5, you get an additional 5% off. $855 is a nice price for that bumper.

Thanks to everyone's comments....
Between that and readind and looking at many photo's I decided to order the ARB bumper. The AEF was a close toss up but with quality the same The ARB's angles just gave it that little extra for me.
The promo code (thanks5) doesn't seem to work at checkout any longer. I did e-mail Northridge to see if there was any new promo's that might save me a buck.
I will probably order as soon as I here back. Rusty's has it for $840 I think but that might be before shipping.
I assume evryone is installing there own bumpers.
The next mod after the bumper will be to get it set up for towing behind the MH...That will be about a $1600 mod.. plus a 2" lift.

Thanks again
