Default POLL! Can't decide on bumper...

I've been going back and forth on my bumper selection for 6 months now. I had decided to go with the RR XHD setup (stubby, storage end caps, grill guard). Now I keep going back and looking at the ARB Deluxe. Since I can't decide now, I'm going to leave it up to all of you! That's right. Whichever one wins is it. I'll be ordering this weekend so let me know!

I would! But I hate the light bracket placement on the mid width. If you could mount them on the bumper I would add it to the poll.

They look the same, and I am really impressed with the rugged ridge! Great price too!

ARB Deluxe

I actually like them both and was planning to get the RR until my Dad gave me his ARB before he traded in his Rubicon. However, I've always been a fan of ARB's products...very solid and high quality. I'm sure the RR is as well. It sounds like budget is not a big factor for you, so in that case, I would go with the ARB

Stubbys all the way. No opinion on your 2 choices because a wide bumper would cause me too many issues offroad. I do have an ARB on my Liberty. It is a very well made bumper.

Just to ask why a full width bumper

I like the look of the ARB a little bit better and the Rugged Ridge shackles are not pegging my cool meter.

Default Rugged Ridge

I have the RR and what made up my mind was price & flexability. Mine came w/hoop which you can mount 2 different ways. Ordered mine before they came out with the locking ends & I am LIKEING them!
