Did you end up getting the XRC??

Is there any manufacturer making a alloy bumper for a JK. I was thinking to have a lighter setup on the front of my JKU Rubi. I'm currently running a n AEV bumper which I'm very have with but it must be very heavy.
I'd also look at a alloy rear bar and carrier too.
Any advice please.

Alloy all over the place with these guys. Shipping might be rough

I ran all Genright stuff here, and all sourced through Bill @ DBOR here in Melbourne. Front bar, rear bar, and body mounted tire carrier... all alum. Check my build thread for details.

I'm moving to the US and have already lined up Genright to build a crazy JK for me when I arrive... will send it to their HQ and basically have them make me a burger with the lot (seems I am losing the plot and going FULL retard).

Another guy on AJOR bought my JK here, I think his tag is OTOMIX.

Hi guys,

I'll be pulling the trigger on a front bar, lift and tyres over the next month or so for my new 2017 Wrangler Unlimited Overland.

For the bar, I'm tossing up between the AEV Premium Tubeless, and the ARB Winch Bar. I love the tubeless look, trying to keep the car as stock looking as possible. I prefer the look of the AEV as slightly rounder and more of a 'factory' look, but am leaning the way of the ARB as they're widely available, $200 cheaper and Aussie.

Anyone own either of these bars? What were the deciding factors? If you don't own either, feel free to chime in and tell me your preference anyway!

I was in the same boat. Ended up with the ARB for the same reasons widely available, Australian product and slightly cheaper. I have not had any dramas with it and very happy.
