ARB has claimed it would be out in April so really should be pretty soon. It's probably gonna be a pretty penny because of that ARB tax. I'm guessing the ballpark is north of 2000.

I'm waiting for the bumper from Backwoods Adventure Mods to drop. They're built here in Arkansas and are pretty slick - steel winch cradle and mount with an aluminum exterior shell. They're a lot lighter than full steel options and easy to install. Here's a link to the 3rd gen bumper, the 4th gen one is in development and should be similar. I saw a video that said the cut line on the bumper should be even with the first slat in the fender flare vents if that helps you visualize.

looks nice but pretty pricey. do you know when they are going to release the bumper?

It will be pricey (like the others!), but at least it'll be powder coated and ready to go. I really like the fact that the 3rd gen only weighs 84 lbs, I would imagine the 4th gen bumper weight will be similar.

They ran a really good Black Friday sale last year, so my plan is to snag one then if they do that again. They've got a 4th gen on hand now and are in development. I think I saw a prototype bumper in one of their YouTube videos this week, so I would hope that maybe by summer we'll see them? My plan is lift and tires by end of summer and then I'll move on to the bumper this fall, hopefully logistics work out ok.

I do like the looks of the ARB but I want a full brush guard to protect the headlights and grille and I'm not sure if they'll offer that or not.



I think it's laying on a crate to the left of the truck in this video, they seem like a good bunch of guys who are passionate about what they do.

thats a pretty good option too. I can really get behind the weight savings. If they offer it without the big loop that one is going to be high on my list.

We also have three different suspension systems, sliders, rear bumper, steel and aluminum skid plates, roof rack and bed rack coming soon!

Do you know when the new bumpers will be available and lead time if any?
