So I have a Rubicon Unlimited soon to be in my driveway. Should I go with Mopar front w/ winch and rear bumpers or ARB?

 

i got the mopars with my jeep at cost rolled into the financing, left me 1000 bucks ahead for other stuff... i like them, thhey are strong and look good too
i know arbs are good, i dont like the light they come with, just my opinion.
the mopars are covered for corrosion too the match the rubicon sliders to boot
the one drawback is the foglamps, they wont go in the mopar bumper... i didnt have them , so its a non issue with me

 

I like the idea of rolling the cost of the bumpers into financing. Did you go with a warn winch?

 

yes, but not from jeep! they are way too much. i went with a xd9000 i got it shipped to my house for 700 bucks, it was not from one of our sponsers however, just search warn winch on your browser look for free shipping.
mopar is like 1200 plus tax too! yuk

 

Nothing against mopar but I think there bumpers are way over priced for what your getting....

 

I want an Expedition One bumper. I sent yall an email with no response yet. I got money and everything.

Robert I presume?

We usually don't respond to emails on the weekend. I usually try and keep and eye on forums just in case someone is having install issues, or there is something I need to comment on. We'll definitely return something by Monday. Its a basic bumper right? There in stock and ready to go. I'll see if Sarah can jump on and send you a return email....


And now back to your scheduled programing.

To give more clarity to my above statement....

I haven't been able to see the JK model ARB up close as of yet, but I've seen quite a few of there FJ model bumper, particularly the 80 series. you can tell that a lot of RND when into ARB's products, The Mopar stuff, though solid, seams very simplistic to me. That's not always a bad thing, but for the price they Carrie, comparing the 2 bumpers I think the ARB is a bit more worth it....

 

325 dollars more... i guess its apples and oranges.i guess ill just say, i like mine.

 

I guess it depend on were your getting it and which model.

The HD arb is less than the other arb and on Northridge's site goes for about $830. This one is more comparable to the Mopar one becuase it has similar features, (i.e no stock fog mounts.)

Now I found the Mopar one for $600.00 at one sight, and $400 on ebay. I also know someone that sales them for about $700.

So if price is a factor, and your looking at $400 diffance between the 2 bumpers that's definetly notable...

 

i would love an arb for my pickup, but they dont have one for a 2002 gmc hd.
i was bummed.
