There's a company out of North Vancouver, Canada called Serious Metal who makes some good, solid bumpers. I bought their rear bumper/tire carrier. It was half the price of the Warn. I'm not sure if it's available in the States but they probably ship.
Yea, the ARB Bull bars are expensive, but they sure can take a beating! Ive slid off a rock into a tree with it, not a mark, ive fallen onto large boulders with it, not a mark, heck, i even rear ended a civic with it! #g to fix the civic, not a mark on the ARB. But if thats a little out of your price range, i suggest you check out Spyder Customs. They are a shop located in Denver that makes very high quality parts. http://www.spydercustoms.com/ Ive purchased their rockers, and am going to get the tube fenders and the rear stinger bumper. Hope this helps!
I like the rocker protectors, (every summer when I take off the doors that fear of being broadsided is never far as I go through an intersection)
...identical to the spydercustoms, and Im sure when they get the YJ bumpers out for sale they will be just as nice. Moderatly priced too.
as much as I can't stand the ARB's cause of the price, IMHO, nothing tougher! I have seen one go through a 8 inch thick tree, no harm except to the tree! as well as bounce off rocks!
