Hi,
Bought my "new" XJ with ARB Bumper w/bush bar but i'm not digging the bar but i do like the bumper with winch option tho.
Here is pic, hope you r understand me



Thinking of cutting out the bush bar or is it a pita?

Thx.

i think the bumper would look goofy without the brush guard part of it. bull bars are great bumpers and the brush guard part if half the looks.

IMO you should sell the bullbar and use that money to buy a bumper without a brush guard, maybe something a little bit more low profile. the money you get for the ARB bumper should be plenty to pay for the new bumper



but to answer your question, a $20 harbor freight grinder with a cut off wheel could handle the job, just might take awhile

Thx.
Low profile like JCR Stage 4 huh?

Sell it, and buy another that you like. You can get a pretty penny for that ARB, and you can buy a nice bumper in the after market, that you like. Moved to chat BTW, this isn't a fab thread....

Agreed, people will pay far more than those are actually worth so you can easily sell that and buy a brand new staangs, JCR or any number of others.

lol thats what i have, with the hoop. love it

Thx.


NICE!
Do you have a bushwacker installed as well?
Was hoping to see how it looks.

actually if you cut the brush guard on those your gonna have to weld some metal plates over the holes in the bumper, cause the tubes actually go inside the bumper, but you should sell it and get a different one, plus if you get a jcr you will have some money left over from the arb to do some stuff to the jeep

Now we talking!

If you take all those lights off it will look 100x better (at least take the top two off)
Or if you wanna sell it I'm looking for one

im on-board, to take a $900 retail bumper and lob off 80% of its signature look just on a whim isn't a very good idea....they're pretty desirable but don't get all pumped up its not gold its just an ARB bumper many people i know have had to beef up theirs after buying them.. being the tow tabs up front and the main body where the winch mounts.... i got mine for only $350, needs some paint but all the upgrade work was already done

Hey That Jeep Guy,
Nice background











i meant NICE Jeep .

hahaha thx bro, i like how your ARB matches the color of your jeep, if you dont mind me asking what did u pay for the jeep?

PO had it professionally painted 2 mo before it was up for sale, is like brand new.
U got PM.
