Ok, I have dug through most threads, looked at reviews, and every ( to my knowledge ) company coffering a bumper.
I just want to add weight, and have an external tire carrier.
I have 1999 LC100
I have come no closer to a decision. So lets see If I got this right :
1. ARB - You have to buy a bunch of different pieces, and the pricing / ordering process is confusing.
2. Victory 4x4 - Cleanest looking, but so so reviews of them working on '98-'99 models
3. Dissent - Looks like best quaility, but once you add the $1000 Tire swing out, it seems a bit steep without extra options.
4. Bump-it - You cant order them anymore, but seem to be the simplest setup.
5. Dobinsons - Best bang for the buck, but look bulky, and build quality seems not exactly to the level of some of the others.
6. Coastal Off-Road - Price seems suspiciously cheap...unless Im over thinking it.
7. Slee - WHAT IN THE INSANE PRICING
8. Blue Lake Off-Road - Looks kinda like they copied Dobinsons homework, or the other way around. But website seems 20 years old ? So are they a thing.
9. Delta Vehicle Systems - Looks good, qulaity seems good, but pricing is a bit higher than some from the get go.
10. Valley-TEch - Not enough info out there to tell if they are good. But they look simple and clean.
11. Gobi - I literally cannot find any info / reviews, but they look not well thought out.
12. 4x4 Labs - Seems more utilitarian, but not super pleasing to the eyes.
Feel free to chime in, or correct my inaccurate assumptions.
Help!
