Front bumper question?...

[imnrut]

Finally got the ol' girl line-x'd. Now for the bumpers. I went with 4x4 Labs for the rear, coming soon.
For the front bumper, since the flares have been removed I had hopes of finding something that would run flush with the outer body panels. Most that I've researched look to sit flush with the existing/standard flares. Aside from something custom, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where I can find a bumper of this nature?
Thanks for any direction.

ARB commercial bar will line up with flareless fenders.

I didn't think we got the commercial bar here in the states .

Check out the AOE bumper.. Quick search will show a couple installs. IIRC it lines up nicely. It is one of the nicest bumpers on the market - Beauty and a LOT of Braun... MHO of course

I'm flareless and have a Slee Short buss, fits really clean without the flares. Much better than the ARB bull bar I had before it. I can get a better pic from the front if you want.

Most suppliers don't carry but I've seen numerous examples both here and in person. Might be worth a call to a vendor and inquire.

The aoe lines up nicely or just wheel your arb and it will modify itself in time

My AOE doesn't actually fit well with the flares on. They're coming off whenever I finally get my garage cleaned out so I can do some work on the truck.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Ya, not sure about finding a commercial bull bar.

CAP80: Good lookin' cruiser. The short buss is an option for sure. Post a pic from the front if you don't mind. Thanks

Here's pics of where the flare meets the bumper on mine. Granted I could move it forward to get it off the flare.

Jose is the reason I got the bumper. I already planned on pulling my flares. Just have to find time to do it and a place to put them until I can sell them.

The resistance to picking up the phone can be amazing at times
just saying youll never find it without trying. Ive seen a few so its not impossible.

that being said i still vote AOE for the description of what your after; note the modified ARB wing.

 

[imnrut]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. That AOE bumper is pretty sharp indeed. I'll be making a phone call. Any idea on pricing and/or if they powder coat?

Nevermind. Found their site.

Looks great...
