I have the ARB Deluxe bar and love it. Have also run them on other vehicles and would buy one again in an instant. Well built and tough and I think it looks awesome!

I put XHD front and rear on my Jeep last night, and the install was a breeze. The quality had me very happy I made that choice in bumpers.

I looked for a long time and went with the Body armor unit wiht skid plate, all for under $460 shipped.

i have not seen anything else within $300 that i would rather have.

Very happy with it

Default Arb

I ran ARB's on my Land Rovers. That bumper is designed to take a hit, it is stout. Come to think of it, that was probably my only complaint, it weighed a metric shit ton! Cannot beat the quality though.

RR for price and flexibility. I have the RR in a stubby with hoop and love it. I helped a guy install an ARB a few weeks back and I bet it wieghted 3 times what the RR did.

I have the ARB and love it. Looks good & its beefy.

I know a few people with the RR that wheel hard and they equally <3 it.

If you're event thinking about running flat fenders, go with the RR or another stubby.

IMHO I don't think flats look good with the ARB.. its designed to go with the bumper lines like the AEV.

If you like the ARB and can afford the extra money look at the AEV premium. They are extremely similar but the AEV flows nicer then the ARB IMO.
