ARB winch bumper installed w/pics

Well it finally showed up this afternoon, took about 3 hrs to assemble and install, would have been allot easier if I was patient enough to wait for some help (read; heavy) but,...I'm not . No winch yet...Still have to trim the inner fender, I'll do that in the morning and take some better pics with the good camera...

Looks great. I have one on my Isuzu Trooper - hit the 4-point buck @ 60mph - the bumper did not need the replacement

Hey, what's the ARB part number and how much $$$ if I might ask?

ARB Deluxe Bull Bar for 06 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (3452030 and 3552040 fit kit) : 2,175.00CAD


Cost me about $2400CAD tax in, delivered to my door.


I had one on an XJ a few years back aswell, great bumpers, there's a testimonial on the ARB website with pics of a guys truck after hitting a bull moose at 110 KMH (65mph) in northern BC, no visable damage to the bumper...

Are you sure it is a Sahara model and not Deluxe?

I thought Sahara comes with chrome tube bar....

The Sahara is around $1400,...mine is the deluxe...
SAHARA Bumper...




I know the Jeep bumpers are only about $1400+install kit ($150)+Tax and shipping, also the factory fog light option (holes cut with brackets etc.) is another $200...Eeither way I'm happy with the bumper and what I paid is still on par or cheaper than any of the other winch bumpers out there, but.... it would be awsome if you could get me the name of the place and if it is the deluxe and not the Sahara I'll call Wil @ NSOR.

It's not the first time I've used NSOR, I've bought Jeep parts in the past and I just ordered an new 4 door Jeep Rubicon (due to arrive in MAY) I've been talking to them about the parts I need for it (lift, tires, bumpers,winch, etc) and they are way cheaper than Nat'l in Cowtown.

That's exactly the reason I bought a bumper in the first place, I work 6hrs north of home in the winter (24 in 4 out), I've had quite a few near misses with both deer and moose (they're everywhere up here), a few friends have written their trucks off and have been lucky enough to walk away, but when it's -40 @ 2am stranded on the side of a remote hiway with no cel service or radio comm's, I'd rather be able to drive away than sit and pray, that's worth every penny IMHO.
