Arb is overpriced just like Hanson and trail ready. I know for sure my rigidco bumper will hold up in an accident and to offroad abuse better then an arb. But it's made from 3/16 steel and boxes the entire front unibody and is held on by 26 bolts and its almost 1/2 the cost If arb

Your rigid is pretty darn sweet though.

I Have this on my jeep. Killer strong bumper and doesn't hurt my angles. Just got back from Sedona and flagstaff and never hit once. I also used the bumper to winch out a few vehicles that went off the highway into the snow banks.
Bumper on the xj practically stock:
New lift tires and fender trimming. Showing how far it sticks out front:
Fully loaded lights and all:
Hard to see cuz of the shade but here it is on the trail.
It comes with the tie in brackets and supports a 9500lb winch. I LOVE this bumper. I feel like my jeep would break before the bumper would!!

It was $100 per bumper. They were off the jeep so that took the price down some. Line-x wanted something crazy like $475 to do both.
I give the Nates 4 out of 5. It mounts with 14 bolts total, so it's on there. I just don't like the gap between the bumper and taillight. That's why the corners are still on. Unfortunately I need to remove them to put on my flares. But for $165, I couldn't complain.....100% satisfied for the price I paid.
This is the only picture I have without the corners.
