Really? What a shame, but it's just my luck. I'm always a few years early, or a few years late.

On the up-side, an ARB front bumper might show up on Ebay someday. I suppose any weld on rocker protection will do. But it's the rear bumper that's kicking my butt. I really liked the way the lower rear quarter was all metal. I'm sure it was very functional, and it looked sharp, too.

I'll be kicking around here for a while. Maybe I'll learn something.
