Cool!
Just make sure your opinions come across as such instead of trying to state facts that simply can't be supported.

There is no "Best" bumper because everyone's tastes and needs are different.

One man's trash is another man's "Best Bumper".

I can't stand all the bigg azz bulk **** out there. Its just not my taste. I love the approach bumbers. ORFAB make that one stlye, but i don't want a winch mount. So i'm still lookin around.
They have the Or-Fab Rock Slider bumper without the winch plate. I bought it myself!

I haven't installed it yet (don't feel up to freezing my butt off yet) but it's pretty beefy for the size and weight.

I love my Logan's Metal bumper. Been on 3 of my Xj's. I even totaled my last one when I hit a tree head on. Bolted up to the new one perfectly.

My buddy just t-boned a ford ranger with his ARB up front...The ford ranger was an extended cab..it folded the side of the truck in like a coke can..the truck ended up in almost a U shape.. His arb doesnt have a single mark on it.

Had a lady back into my ARB with a new Lexus Hybrid. She destroyed her rear end and both 1/4 panels. No idea about her frame as her insurance took blame.. The ARB let me down - I had to touch up the scratch with some black rustoleum...

sorry for reviving an old thread, Im looking to get a new bumper this summer. What do you guys think about the C4x4 bumper with the full brush guard (2n on page). Looks beefy kinda like an ARB. I like the full coverage

http://www.custom4x4fabrication.com/front_xj.html


I like that one and the JCR pre-runner.
