New ARB Deluxe Bull Bar purch on Ebay

[Corystrom]

So my 01 TLC is a project that I so could dump all my funds into but thats just not a reality right now and im sticking to a defined budget that my fiance and I have agreed to. I looked at the Arb Bull Bar bumpers for the 03 and up years and have been quoted right around 1450-1500 to inc@ude shipping with some of the vendor connections made here.....I found ebay has quite a few of the same model and brand new bumpers available for $200 less....so right about $1230 with shipping waived.
Ill admit I feel a bit unsettled about making a purchase like this via an ebay seller and a reputable company like Slee makes me feel it may be best to just pay the extra cost for assurance of what im getting.
Can anyone share their past experience with sellers similar to this situation in which im considering purchasing the Arb bumper off Ebay?

You could also order the bumper off of Amazon with free shipping and no tax...

Check the eBay sellers feedback rating. If it's solid, buy from him. Sounds like a deal.

If you are dead set on the ARB, Sierra Expeditions has then for around $1250 I think with free shipping.

my biggest concern was making sure the correct bumper was delivered since im looking for the 03+ model and not having to deal with the possibilty of return shipping the item.....annnnd def providing business to a trusted vendor that shares our views toward these vehicles was something to be considered.... just gave Sierra Expeditions a call this afternoon and they are a local shop here close to Phoenix that offered a good deal and I can pick up at their shop to preview the merch. Thanks so much for the leads everyone chimned in about....Much appreciated!!!!

On another note, open up another bank account and make small monthly deposits into it for a new Cruiser fund
