Looking at what's out there and I like the Defiance and then the TJM. I've always been an ARB fan though and am leaning that way, but I like the 2003+ version of their deluxe bumper better than the 98-2002. Can you put an 03+ on a 98-02?

That looks pretty good. I'm really leaning towards the TJM on my LX as I like the way the uprights in the center angle out like the LX grille/headlights do. I'm also putting a TJM locker in the front as well.I put an 03+ ARB on my 01 LC. There is a slight gap between the top of the bumper and the fascia under the grill and headlights. It is not visible unless you are looking down on the bumper. Very minor and doesn't look bad at all. I personally prefer the look of 03+ to the 98-02 and would rather have the gap and the new design than no gap and the old design.
Edit: Here's a couple pics I could find from when I mounted my winch.

I really considered the TJM as well, but at the time it had a longer lead times than the ARB. I don't think you can go wrong with either.That looks pretty good.
