Slee VS ARB

[Firedog]

I like the look of the slee, but I bought my arb because:

2. It has bars which somewhat protect the lights and grill from damage on tree filled tight trails that you typically find here in Tennessee.

Same here, I would have jumped all over the Slee if it had the top bars.

I don't think anyone that has purchased either has regrets...both are awesome and required equipment IMHO.

The ARB is mandatory here in the northeast. Lots of tight trails with trees and brush. But the clearance sucks.

Hmmm....something tells me that someone should be thinking of two different designs for the short bus......

If you want a bumper get the ARB.

If you want a work of art get the Slee Short Bus.

Looks better, less filling ~ half the weight so you won’t be paying for it at the pump all the time

Different types of wheeling require different equipment.

The Slee bumper is a work of art, BUT it doesn't provide the type of protection I need for the wooded trails that I travel.
As far as half the weight.... I don't know, The ARB is getting REALLY thin.... I remember thinking about how flimsy the ABR's are now, compared to the older ones, when I took mine out of the box a couple months ago.
I think the perfect bumper (for me) would be the Slee with top bars like the ARB.
