looks a bit scabby and without sounding pompous I don't want to fit anything that shabby to an 04' that I've actually got looking like a decent truck for once :thumb2

might be Ok for someone though :nenau

My ARB Bumper cost me under £400... as Fez says new fabbed winch bumpers are about half that. Think someone's seen £ signs :rolleyes:

In fairness that bumper would probably clean up quite nice but since it's not a name brand like ARB etc you don't know how well built it is unless you view it in person :nenau

Barrbeast ARB fr under £400 must have been second hand then as only arb I have seen have a 1 at the front of that, I would love that.

Kind regards

jordan loftus on facebook has exactly same one made by a bloke in sheffield.
i was going to buy it for 150 but its not just 150 is it. it would be a winch and all the other bits and would of been 500.
need to sort my other problems first.

I quite like it, at least they have made an effort to get it to follow the lines of the old bumper, so no nasty ugly gaps between the bumper and the wing like a lot of the ones I have seen have.

Only thing is, as Elty says, it does look twisted, and it is to far for me to go and check it out before bidding. Actually it's to far to go and get it as it would be a 600mile round trip.

No it's aweful. A snowplough is exactly what it is.
It's been for sale for ever decreasing pounds for months on faceache.
When I saw the first one I tried suggesting politely that it stuck out more than the std plastic bumper :eek:
What's the point of fitting something that reduces your attack angle ?
Still for sale ? I wonder why ~? :lol
Get one you like fabbed for 200 quid easily.

Yep, best eBay bargain I've had yet :thumbs Couldn't believe it when I saw it! :lol

Interesting thing about the ARB bumpers is that the winch mounts differently to most other bumpers. It bolts vertically to the inside face of the bumper right between the chassis rails. Most others I can see, the winch bolts horizontally between the rails.
