What do you guys think about the 80 new bumper from ARB? It look pretty decent and solid. Check this out.

I think it's kinda' ugly. Cool to have another option though.
Pretty decent, like my Hanna better though.

I know this bumper is made by ARB but I still prefer the Kaymar rear bumper over this one.
The thing seems HUGE.
Looks as though it would hurt departure angle more then in stock form.

That bumper is a bit on the fugly side, isn't it?
Man that thing is big. Too big maybe.
It would work fine for my needs (expedition wheeling and DD protection - no rock crawling) and is kind of the counter point to their front bumper, which is also not for rock crawling. It appears the length was justified to preserve keeping the spare under there in the factory location which I applaud. But I do have a beef with it, which is the way they just let the rear face just end like that with only a minor bend forward. I don't rock crawl, but I do drag the rear down ledges and berms routinely and that setup is just asking to hook on something and leave you hung or bend the edge out. It's a wagon, after all. Couldn't they add a few inch wide skid plate across that opening so it will at least slide/glide down a rock?
This is based on Mickldo's burgandy truck which I'm not clear is the final version, but it's the only one we can see the bottom edge clearly on.

My mother taught me that if I don't have anything nice to say, I should say nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
What departure angle? 
Definately no regrets about going with Slee. It seems like ARB could have come up with something better than that.

for that price, might as well get a Hanna or 4x4labs rear bumper they are much better looking and more functional.
