One guy posted that at ARB's headquarters in Wa,they offer deep discounts on blems to the tune of 65%. They have minor scratches or imperfections. I've never read anything negative about them. Fit and finish seem great.

I had one on my 02 dodge and I sold it to a buddy with a 98. I personnally dont like it. I bought a winch bumper to be stout. If I hit a moose, bear, deer, caribou, whatever, I want my bumper to protect the truck. The ARB bumper is 1/8" plate and the mounting hardware is 1/4". The shackles need to be mounted under the bumper by the frame for strength. My Ruennel bumper and now my aluminum bumper, and a buddies fab four bumper are real stout. Not much heavier, but you can put a tow strap around the top upright to pull someone out, where the ARB is just screwed on with two little screws on each side. I am talking about the curved tube that goes over the optional lights you can put on the truck. They look good but I think they are weak and would not buy one again. The jeep bumpers are built stronger.
