I am thinking about ordering this bumper, but cannot find a picture of it. I am thinking that it looked like the one for the trooper, but am unsure.
Does anyone have a picture of this and/or have it installed?

I can post some low quality pics of one on Dougs Raider. One of the reasons you have not got much of a response is because many people had pictures lost on a web host we used a while back. It looks much better in person. Some detail is hidden by the strap he had around it and poor pic quality. ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/tag/2009-07-28/1248804133_image29.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/tag/2009-07-28/1248804151_image16.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/tag/2009-07-28/1248804192_image3.jpg)

The arb bumper is a very nicely designed and built bumper. Will it handle as much abuse as a bumper like Justice's or Don's bumpers. w/out any scientific analysis, I would hazard a guess 'no'. Sorry to hear about monty pics. Yeah, I can't believe they were updating their server OS w/out having a proper 'verified' backup. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> I lost a ton of pics too!

The arb bumper is a very nicely designed and built bumper. Will it handle as much abuse as a bumper like Justice's or Don's bumpers. w/out any scientific analysis, I would hazard a guess 'no'. I have not seen the back of Justice's or Don's bumpers. Here is a shot of the back of an ARB. ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/markg/2009-07-28/1248812092_bumper.jpg) The ends of the bumper is boxed. The mounts to the frame are boxed. There is an internal brace from the frame mounts to the boxed ends. The tube diameter is greater. From the front, the bumpers might look similar. From the back, I believe the ARB is stronger. Back to the original question. Here is a pic of an ARB with a warn winch on a Gen I SWB. ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/markg/2009-07-28/1248812946_20090324_06_small.jpg) If you need any other pictures or measurements, let me know.

Also to note, Dons and Justice bumpers wrap around the front for a little more body protection than the gen1 ARB design.
Keep in mind the Don and ARB are winch ready, Justice bumper is designed for frame mounting of the winch.
To me the ARB is like a work of art of sorts with the main section pressed out of one solid piece. They make the best bumpers in the business in my opinion.
