Now I need to decide if I should try and repair my bumper by taking it off, bending back the mounting plates and pounding the bumper back into a semblance of shape...or bite the bullet and spend an obscene amount of money on a replacement. And if I do, which one?

I was thinking about the ARB one because...duh - $875 plus tax, locally.

The ironman deluxe because of driving lights. $905 + shipping + tax

or local fab - cost unknown, quality unknown

Also an option is AOE - $900 + shipping + tax

I was also thinking Slee Shortbus, but $935 + shipping + tax for a minimalist bumper seemed nutty.

I'm leaning towards the ARB, but $~935 for a bumper just seems insane to me.

Im also open to other ideas like a junkyard bumper, or custom work as well as other brands. It has to have:

1. winch mount (for future savings ruination)

2. recovery points

3. hi lift compatability

4. not look like shit.

2.

Thoughts?
