JK Front bumper roundup

[Dave]

Price will be $1650.00 fitted

It would have to be pretty special for me to pay that much. The AEV with tow hooks, without winch mount would be just over $1000AUD say $200 shipping, It might need painting but not sure.

Remembering that the AEV bar has not been ARD complied, so you would 'have' to get it complied with your state road authority.

Personally its something I would be doing if I went down the AEV road. If you hit a pedestrian or another vehicle, then your insurance and roadworthiness issues start giving you greif regardless of who is at fault.

Something to consider.

I got told today that the ARB winch bars are on their way to the dealers in the next week. Apparently they have finished the production run and are just going through the final stages???????

Hope its not just more Bull.

the ARB bars are a little steep in my opinion, specially since they are talking at around $750-1200 USD for them in the states.
Apparently they are getting their 1st shipment in the next week or so.

might even work out cheaper to get an Aussie made bar shipped back from the US!!!

how does that work out????

[rolli]

has anyone noticed the price difference between www.quadratec.com and www.customjeepwranglers.com for the AEV bar??

Quadratec have for US$1150
while custom jeep have it for US$799


That makes the Custom Jeep sourced bar AU$900 (before shipping)

[rolli]

oops, think I just work out why - the Custom Jeep kit is the bare kit (no hooks or winch plate....)

[Dave]

What does e-coated mean? They say "Comes E-Coated, ready for paint" I assume I'd need to pay someone to paint it?

[Dave]

This MIGHT be the ARB bar and even then its only a tiny out of focas glimpse but we havent got anything else yet so I figured I will post it
