So after a bit of debating I have decided to purchase the ARB Bar, but my only problem is locating one for sale, I have found a few places on-line but being new to the off-road world I don’t know where to look. Any help?
Here are some prices that I found for on-line sales

Factory MSRP $1,159.42
4wheelparts.com $1,106.99
central4wd.com $1, 059.00
rustysoffroad.com $1,054.02
sams4x4store.com $972.95
quadratec.com $1,054.99
autoanything.com $1106.95 (thanks to teckman02)
sierraexpeditions.com $1054.02 (thanks to John Galt)
4by4connection.com $909.97 (thanks to thehypnotoad)

but they were being sold at that price due to TJM not building anymore
So yes you got a deal but no longer made
In the end ARBs are worth the price

Make sure you look for coupon codes when you're doing your pricing on the web sites. You could save some real $$$.

I just died a little on the inside, I hope I can find one in a junkyard and the owner doesn't know what they have.

Yep prices have gone up on them for sure.
The guy I got mine from had it 6 months, wanted 400, told him it was too much and talked him down. Had to drive to Chicago to get it, by the time I got there he lowered the price even more !

I do not know the year of your KJ but '02-'04 KJ ARB bumpers have always been $200-$300 cheaper then the '05-'07 KJ ARB's until about a year ago.Why I don't know.

Not sure what you meant here. You don't know why they were cheaper or you don't know why it changed a year ago?

I haven't been paying attention to prices so I didn't know anything changed recently. Everywhere I look the 02-04s are still cheaper. At least part of the cost is that the 02-04 bumpers reuse the factory turn signals. Later models don't.
