Ladies and Gentlemen,
HELP!!!!!!
This is driving me crazy.
Let me start with I HATE THE ARB bumper. I think its big, ugly and too heavy for what I need.

I am looking for an offroad bumper for my 03 KJ.
I have looked at Trail Ready (they stopped makeing the bumper) This was my favorite.
I also have been reaching out to Rock Lizard fab but asside from them never getting back to me I hear horror stories of their service.

I have even been looking for custom fab shops in the area (Long Island, NY).

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Man if you think the ARB is to big and heavy the TrailReady one is even bigger and about 50lbs heavier then the ARB.

really?
From every picture I have seen of the trail ready one it looks smaller. My buddy has the ARB and I dont really like it.
Either way the trail ready one is no longer in production.
Any other thoughts?

Are you looking to mount a winch? Take a look at the backbone http://detoursusa.com/kjbackbone.php

JL Rockies,
cute, very cute. No like I said I dont do any type of hard core wheeling. I have no need for a winch and I have no desire for one.
I do however go off-roading to remote areas for fishing and mountian biking. An offroad bumper can only help in difficult situations.

Have any thoughts? (Useful thoughts)

Naaa, you aint a real NY LI jeeper if you aint rolling on 22"s.

All kidding aside, try jeepguy631.com. He does a lot of CJ, TJ, and XJ stuff. If you bring him a picture he may be able to fab something up.
