85 pounds on my UPS scale. We tell everyone for shipping purposes that a Bull Bar weighs about 150 pounds, regardless of make, so there is some bad info out there. I can pick one up with one hand and lug it around my garage...

Anyway, there you go.


Thanks for the correction! I think my shipping manifest listed 140lbs (with packing materials. That's interesting though because the AllJProducts crowd was adamant that the ARB BullBar was much heavier than their bumper. Looks like they are pretty much the same then as far as weight is concerned.

WHAT WHAT WHAT??? Really, the ARB bumper is only 85 lbs?

OK, I need one! who's got one? I'm looking hard now.

PS I've read that the hardware of the stock bumper (not just plastic fascia) is what adds up to 20-35 lbs.

Seth, I'm looking to swap a $1,500, 12 month ad on www.jeeptales.com for an ARB bumper plus $500 for the ad. Know anyone willing to do this swap? I MIGHT be able to get the ad on longer and MIGHT be able to get more off the price of the ad.

I've got one Adam, but not for sale :D Too bad you can't come out to the off-road expo this weekend in SoCal. Maybe you could make another road trip movie and pick up an ARB bumper cheap from Seth! :D

Everybody's a comedian!

I think the gas alone for the drive out west from NY would negate any deal I could get at the show. Maybe even FREE! Let's see, 3,000 miles x2=6,000 / 15mpg (if I drive very slowly!) = 400 gallons x $3/gallon = $1,200! Yup, ARBSeth would have to pay me about $400 just to make it FREE to me! And I'm not counting hotels, food, two oil changes, wear and tear!

LOL Cheaper to buy my ad, Seth!
