Simple solution, don't hit any of it!! If you're going so fast that wildlife jumping out in front of you before you can stop is an issue, well, then you're going too darn fast!!! While one of those 'bull bars' or whatever you want to call them may provide a little more protection in a collision, your vehicle is still going to be totaled and un-drivable. How happy would you be if you spend 1000 bucks on a stupid huge bumper, hit a deer, and then your vehicle was totaled?? I'd rather total the vehicle with that 1000 dollars in my pocket, thank you very much.

In reality those big huge bumpers do absolutely nothing for you. Real offroad vehicles have tiny, stout bumpers that allow the tires to come into contact with things before any part of the body.

Doesn't look good on the KJ or KK. Maybe if it had different light hoops.

If you could get it without the light hoops & push bar, it should look good.

would look much better with just the push bar....that giant outer bar looks pretty rediculous to me...even if it serves a purpose its not worth looking that bad

I like it, but I would cut off the outer guards. Just saying.

I'll spend money on a bumper instead of totaling my vehicle! I've hit and killed 3 Deer and a Toyota Camry and my ARB just has some minor scrapes, can't even see them till you are up close. As far as driving too fast , do you live where there are a lot of Deer or other wildlife? Must not or you would know what its like. They jump off road banks etc before you can bat an eye, even driving 35-40. In Tanzania they even install bigger bumpers on cars to protect them against animals etc. They do help. I'll spend the money any day to protect the metal, lot cheaper in the long run!!! In reality those big huge bumpers do a LOT for you.

That one may be ugly but looks useful if needed just like the bumpers you see on ranch trucks. Not useful in the "off road" community but still work. I use my ARB all the time to bump open gates that won't stay open on my family's ranch. Even nudged some cattle that won't move out of the way.

I cant see a price anywhere on the site. Im assuming its expensive...Either way Im not a fan of the design, but I can definitely see its usefulness.

I've got a Buckstop bumper on my Dodge and just as the name implies, it will stop a deer or elk with no truck damage, good bumper will protect your vehicle.
