So here I was cruising fleabay for the "Good Deal", which is often hard to locate and always a risk at best, if you are lucky enough not to be the millionth person to view it.
It was my weekly search for "ARB FJ", I was very accustomed to this weekly search as I have been doing it for some time now. I plugged the letters in and hit enter.....Bamo! I got a hit other than the retailers trying to post up new stuff at full retail. I clicked and put in an offer....24 hours later, they accepted the offer and I'm headed off to pick it up, 2 hours away. I jump on the phone with ARB USA to make sure I can get a left and right bracket which is the only items I need to complete the install, they were in stock and on there way to me. I pick up the bumper from an auto dismantler in the LA area, which assured me the legality of the purchase, and I headed home...a quick wipe down and here you have it....
A side note to the donor FJ...thanks and RIP.
I paid LESS than 1/3 the price of new, zero shipping and the guy loaded it for me! He told me to have a nice day...I told him I already did!!
