I'm looking to pick up an ARB bull bumper but am a little gun shy about dropping the thousand bucks to do so. anyone have any suggestions on where to get the best price?

sorry I dont know where to buy them but you may want to upgrade your front suspension, you are talking about adding a 85# bumper to your stock coils, they will not like that one bit

Your going to be hard pressed to find a new one for less than about $950 + shipping. Occasionally one will pop on craigslist or here (won't last long).

P.S. Please resize your avatar, we try to keep the size at about 150x150. Other wise it tends to skew the posts way to the right. Thanks!

Like the man said, your not likely to get it much below market asking price. It's an item that doesn't get a lot of discounting, because it is worth every penny!
How do I know?
The one of the front of my Wrangler has eaten three vehicles that chose to ignore the traffic laws and succumbed to the laws of physics instead (I live and drive in the Boston area). There is nothing more wonderful than having the police come over to you and say "can you show me your damage?" - and there is none! (Tell that to the Chevy Suburban driver that turned left in front of me thinking tonnage was going to win)

02-04 KJ ARB's have always been cheaper than the 05-07 that he needs.

I don't want to get into it, but Rusty's website has 05+ for $880 plus shipping, maybe ask your supplier of choice to price match???

What model fits the 04 KJ? On 4 Wheel Parts, they don't have any Jeep options. Is it like the Dodge Durango or something, like the Ranchos?

They look awesome. I wonder how good it would look on a dark blue Sport.

I know where your coming from. When I was debating mine I was shy too but once I got it I was like and am still like a kid in a candy store :) They are a great bumper! Pretty easy to install...once it is done, lol and just makes our KJs look better. With the exception of Inc's. It is pricey...yes. Does it work out good...yes and is it worth it hell yes!

You will need to upgrade your suspension though with some stronger coils. *shrug* However, it is soooo worth it.
