TJM T3 no hoop... great bumper.
Only one I'd trade for at this point would be the Slee...

^ Factory fogs, right? Love front bumpers without hoops.
Yep... factory.

That's the best looking bumper (pictured) I've seen on a 100. Love the clean no-hoop look. In 20+ years of 'wheeling, I've never bumped my grille on something my bumper missed.
Wait until you hit a deer doing 50 and see how much damage it does to your grill, and radiator, and etc.

I'd never buy a bumper, hooped or otherwise, to hedge against this.
I guess the "your mileage may vary" holds. I have more hits on the hoops that I have on the bumper itself (not counting the underside of the bumper, which has had more hits.) They've saved my marker lights/headlights more than once. Not from a deer, but from rocks and trees.
Perhaps I'm just a bad driver...
(I'm running the ARB bull-bar with the hoops)
I still think the thick diameter tubing of the T15 takes the cake!
My 2nd fave is a hybrid designed by Bamachem...

In the rocks, I always had issues with my ARB commercial bar. Except for that one TJM, they are all kind of too big, for my liking. Also, I wouldn't like hitting any of them on rocks (or anything), you will bend wings into fenders....

that looks fantastic. the ability to retain the oem fogs is nice. would be great if TJM would offer this or the T17 again.
It's interesting that of all the bumpers with hoops, only TJM matches the lines of the 100 - the angle of the grille vs. the angle of the hoop. Looks more like it was designed for the 100... and not a general application, e.g. Discovery, etc.

TJM says they are gauging interest in offering the T17 or possibly T3 again. You can post here if interested:

I don't mean to be critical, (ok, so I do mean to be critical
) but why show something that isn't available for the 100 series in a 100 series site?BTY, it is a good looking bumper...
Love the Slee blueberry!!

I just noticed that Slee has the T3 for the 100 listed on his website as available - has anyone gotten one yet? Also anyone know if you can get it without the hoop?
One of the nice things about the ARB bars is that if you've got a 4wheel parts local and order through them, you aren't going to pay the insane shipping you usually get stuck with when ordering big heavy automotive parts.
Also another incentive to go with the newer ARB deluxe bar is that it can be recovered and lifted from while still preserving the crush factor. In hindsight I would have gotten that one instead and just dealt with the trimming and drilling, foglights or not.
