Anyone one here looking to part with a 100 series Slee/ARB rear bumper? Or know anyone looking to sell one?

Driver window had been rattling and finally fell off the track the other day when my son was driving it. Had him run to venable glass and the guy said most likely the plastic tab on the bottom of the glass had broken and I'd need a new window. So I took it home and took the interior panel off. The tab was fine, but the bolt holding it to the track had come out and was in the bottom of the door. Put it back in and all is good. If you have a rattle in the glass, check the bolts.
Did so and am waiting on a reaponse.
My brother in law is considering sale of his 98 White/Tan LX470, he bought it from me, I bought it used from Herrin Gear with 63k on it, heavily serviced and maintained, now it's around 165k and Rob has reworked all the areas of concern, has a big screen blue tooth phone unit in place and been a city Lexus since new from Herrin Gear, stock Michellins and air bad suspension in place, new brake master/booster, steering, cooling and much more

Damn. That's a deal
This is a very clean well maintained 100 with a new ABS brake actuator. If Piper had a drivers license she'd be in this truck by the weekend.
For those of you that have upgraded rear bumpers - does everyone pretty much go with ARB or Slee? I talked to the guy from Bump It Offroad because I saw a thread where someone mentioned their bumper was significantly cheaper - after my discussion with them it looks like their bumper would cost just as much as the ARB. Are there other options or are those two the gold standard?

Slee is the cat's ass.
ARB will give you one handed access to rear cargo. If your better half going tonuse rig go ARB.

Yes forgot he has rear now.
ARB and Slee both have fine offerings. I had a Bump It Off-Road High Clearance version on a 100 once, and I really liked it. Quality bumper, and the swing outs were really easy to use due to the gas strut assists.
That being said, if prices are all pretty much the same, the quality build of the Slee seems to be the gold standard.
EDIT: Just went and looked at the Dissent Off-Road bumper....I gotta say, that's one sweet looking piece of work! Hard to tell the build quality from the photos, but what i can tell, it looks really good! Very ingenious mechanism for opening/closing the swing outs.......might be worth consideration.

Sold to an old friend of mine today. Superbly clean truck. Impressive that it is 19 years old. Its as clean as mine......that is saying a lot from me. I am a snob about that stuff.
What I don't understand it how that truck, being garage kept and so clean had the corroded ABS unit. That s*** puzzles me to no end.

I really liked the bumper that was on @pmccraney 100. The swing outs were easy easy to open.
My SLEE is a rock. NO movement. No rattles. Powder looks as good now as it did 7 years ago new.
That said, when my daughter starts driving it, I am going to take the swing outs off and store them until that time that I begin using it a lot. They are a total and complete hassle to deal with to get in and out of the rear of the truck.

I like the slee - my fiance does use the truck a good bit and I'm concerned she'd quickly grow tired of getting in and out of the back with that bumper.
My only reservation about the ARB is that I would really like to have a ladder and it doesn't look like they have a factory option to add one. I watched a few videos of the ARB's function and it seems like the easier one to use day to day. Does anyone know of any companies that make ladders for the ARB?
