It is on a wooden skid and a big box so that weight is probably included..UNLESS you accidently ordered 2 ARB's

Seriously, it weighs about 70 lbs. Dont sweat it... I lifted it up and put it on my bumper myself. it literally took 20 mins to install...pretty ironic.

This is the box it came in..on a wooden palet..it is BIG.


Here is some motivation.

Good luck..and take some pics and post when get it...you will have a HUGE when you are done!

later,
joe

When i said you will have a " HUGE " ...i meant you will have a huge [glow=red,2,300]SMILE[/glow] once you are done.

JUNK, on the otherhand, probably had a huge boner when he was done installing his arb! haha

I hardly call $27 duped!

I invoice the shipping for the exact amount it cost to ship it, and in your case, less as you recall.

ARB packages these bumpers very well, when I "estimated" $100, I was judging on other shipments in the past.

Sorry you feel duped...
???

Also, I called and OK'd the additional shipping amount with you prior to the shipment... I wish you would have voiced your concern then.

At any rate, thanks again for the order and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the bumper.

Thanks...

Im sorry i guess duped was the wrong word to use. I was really counting on shipping being $100 as i am on a very tight budget and one of the reasons i decided to go ahead and get the bumper was because it was such a good deal.
For any that reads that its not what i meant i am very happy with the sevice and the although i havent yet recived the bumper im sure ill be happy with it as well. I would highly recomend Kurt and im sure i will go back to him with my buisness.

Knowing what the jobber cost is, Kurt did well to even answer the email He did not make much on that at all.

Sounds like ya got a good deal! Wish my wife would let me put one on her truck. A couple deer ran in front of us tonight just going out to eat. That box will be huge, bigger than a side-by-side 'fridge. My kids loved it, but holy cow what a bunch of cardboard. Not too heavy for install, but a floor jack to balance it on helps while installing. I was just going to stick it up there to see how it looked, slipped it on and bolted it down in minutes.
