I got my 97 TLC at end of October with 74k mi, black, very clean (no evidence of prior abuse - no rock dings etc) probably still a virgin. Pretty much loaded - lockers, racks, leather - all the goodies - but dented bumpers - front in the middle and rear on the left side (may be fixable). I have that cow pusher grill guard but it was not on when the previous owner bumped into a station wagon - Anyways rather than replace the center piece I was thinking of selling the grill guard and getting an aftermarket bumper. I like the Slee but it doesn't seem to cover as much down low (from the pictures) The ARB looks cool too especially on the black truck (thanks for the pics - previous post 'How much does an ARB really weigh') and has additional protection. So here's my questions:
1 Are there any pros or cons to one or the other - or is it mostly just style?
2 There is a more subdued looking ARB for the 100 series (kind of looks like a Slee, just more polished up) does this exist for the 80 series?
3. Does anyone make a front skid plate/rock guard? ( and is this something to have?)
Thanks very much! I have been lurking for a while and this site really does rock!
