the rugged ridge you have so many more options and is a bit cheaper than arb. although i have both body armor bumpers but i was not sure between the rugged ridge and body armor. just my

 

I myself would never get a full width bumper. They get in the way on tighter trails. Get an LOD or atleast something mid or short lenght!

 

Both the fronts (Elite & Sport) are in stock and ready to ship. Rears are around a 2 week leadtime. The best discounts are on a pair of bumpers.

 

That is funny those are the 2 bumpers I have had on my jeep. I had the arb first. It is a really nice bumper though it is heavy as heck and pretty difficult to install solo. It looks perfect with stock flares but less so with tube fenders. I did like that it had the winch fairlead kind of sunken into the bumper but I did not like those strange hard plastic bumperettes sticking out nor did I like the rectangle amber lights (all of the lights on the front of the jeep are round).
Now I have the Rugged Ridge. I like the modular design, I like that it is a stubby, and I LOVE the stinger. Though if I did not get such a smokin deal on the RR I probably would have gotten the LOD Stubby with stinger instead.


LOL With your name I am surprized you are not considering the Smittybilt.

 

Go the arb delux I have it an it looks great, the quality is second to none. It's the perfect allrounder, trust me you won't be disappointed.

 

XHD. I've ran into a bunch of shit and it holds up like a champ.

 

Any comments on which bumper would hold up better in a deer or car collision? I'm trying to choose between the ARB and full width XHD myself.

 

Both look great!!

 

ARBs are made for squishing 'Roos. Just saying....

 

I like both the RR and ARB I am looking to upgrade also as I am currently all stock. I do like the look of those Benchmarks too. But probably more than I want to spend on bumpers at the moment untill I get more Mods done. I will prob go with the RR too so I vote for RR.
