thinking about getting a front bar,
but don't really have enough $$ at the moment for the arb one.

i saw the warn front bar on this site for $484,
is that a good price?

also, how do they compare to the arb bar if anyone knows
from experience...

cheers

I think the ARB one offer much more body protection. It has the side hoops and grille gaurd. Not as good approach angle but that can be fixed with a grinder as has been done to mine.

The Warn bars look awesome when mated with a winch plate and the Grille Guard Tube. ARB bar is a bit to large for the front of a TJ.

Just my thoughts.

ARB by far ive had a really nasty front end collision into the back of a gq i thought the airbags would of gone off and whole front end would be written off but all it did was slightly dented the front bar, i swear by the ARB bars.
