arb bumper
I hit a deer a few weeks ago so the insurance company is letting me pick out a bumper (below a certain price) if i dont fix a few other small things (small dent in fender, small crack in grill, etc...)
I'm thinking about getting this arb bumper but there isn't much info on it. Does anyone have one or have more pics of one on an f250 (mine is an '01)?
Thanks in advance

I've seen 2 or 3 ranch hands that look pretty much untouched after hitting a steer or a cow. The arb is nice but there are some that are just over built

I like the ARB and others but why do they have to be so expensive. It's over $1600 for the ARB. Yes it is very well built and engineered but that is a lot of food off the table if you know what I mean? I have been looking at these from Kennesaw Mountain for a while and they start out pretty cheap for the basic bumper. Check them out.

I got my top gun winch bumper for $895.00 and it looks heavier than that. Is the ins. co. going to pay 100%? Check out ebay item # 110378328732. You can use the factory tow hooks and fog lights also. You can find a good winch for less than $400.00.

I like the ARBs...1) because, as somebody stated before they are expensive, but $1,600 is CHEAP compared to the other brands, and 2) because, also compared to the other brands, they are just as durable and much more low-profile than the others. In my opinion, I think the Ranch Hands and Fab Fours are SOOOOO ugly because of their bulkiness and lack of aesthetics. Road Armors are ok, but I'm still not a fan.
But I also would like to see pictures of ARBs rather than just advertisement pictures. I would like to see how it looks from the side and other angles than just the front. No one has pictures?
I also don't get why people with 99-04 trucks would buy the 99-04 winch bumpers. If you're going to spend that much money on a bumper, that would be the perfect time to spend just a little more and get the upgraded grille and headlights...
