Imo the warrior bumper looks like a flimsy ARB wannabe. I smacked a ford taurrus with my ARB & smashed it clear to the back window & it only put a little scratch that you can barely even see on my bumper. Which I only hit the trunk lid but still. Think that warrior bumper will save your front end hitting a deer at 20mph? 30mph?? 45mph??? I know mine will, without a scratch. Spending little more now could save you money later! Don't skimp on front protection!

 

Ya, the bumper will be ok, but what do you think that does to your sheet metal unibody? Honestly, the bumper should be the weak point. Why do you think they put such flimsy bumpers on? Not to be cheap.

 

The WARN front bumper with guard is a beast. If you need a battering ram this is the way to go. Really need a rear tire carrier to offset the weight since this thing is a monster.

 

Here's a pic of the WARN bumper.

 

i have the jcr stage four with two d-ring tabs, 2" receiver, and the vertical hoop, i like it alot its a nice heavy duty bumper IMO.

 

And it costs more than what a lot of people on here paid for their xj.

 

Sorry, I deploy alot, not much time to fab stuff...funny thing is I'm selling that monster on craigslist for $ to fix my XJ (and yeah, new it cost me a small fortune)

 

The ARB is designed to distribute the force evenly. Sheetmetal damage? Not with ARB its a full bumper like the WARN that's pictured but braced even more, in all the right places.ARB comes with added brackets(that factory doesn't have)for greater load spread. ARB are called bullbars for a reason. That's what it take to mess your **** up. They're tried & true the world over. You all can pic the bumper of choice. But I know I have piece of mind driving down a backroad at night knowing that a deer isnt gonna smash my grill, headlights, fenders, hood, ect because my bumper has full front protection. Idk I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for & if spending more now saves me from spending $$$$ on things that could have been prevented by buying a quility part to begin with then so be it. ARB all the way for me.

 

I agree arb is very nice. My dad has one on his yota, but i just don't have the money to drop a grand into a bumper and bracing.

 

Who does? I wouldn't give $500 for the warn or arb when I could build one better than either. Do they even come with unibody tie-ins?

 

They reinforce alot in the front and yeah they have tie ins. My dad hit a deer with his going 45 and didn't even scratch his truck or the bumper, just shot it across the road

 

I wanna see a bumper that you can make stronger than a ARB bumper that's designed by engineers, R&D'd in Australia & the world over. & 2nd to none with looks & style. That protects the whole front end, winch mounted low so it doesn't block grill. I agree they're expensive, aftermarket radiators aren't cheap either & I have no plans of buying neither one twice. **** my ARB almost cost half as much as I paid for my jeep & throw in radiator & its well over half. Its done paid for itself a couple times in the 5years its been on my jeep. & still looks as good as the day I put it on. Worth every cent & then some imo.

 

just order a winch bumper from little lenoard that should be here in 3-4 weeks. So i have a bumper that i will be selling. not sure what brand it is, it's the one mod that was done to the jeep when i bought it. if your interested pm me and we could work something out.



before i mounted fog lights just 2 little holes...

That looks alot like the warrior bumper. Got any more pics? Anybody else think it looks like it? Lol

 

I like one i saw on google called "The Wincher" by a company like tactical or something. It was over $400 though, screw that.
