Which WJ Bumper? ARB vs TrailReady vs LSR

[bob91yj]

<confused> So if a 3/4 shackle is the bolt, they can be used as tow points?

Nice work BTW, you've got some skills for sure. If you were closer I'd be talking to you about something for my '06 GMC.

I have an ARB on my WJ. If I was to start over I would get the LSR. Not that the quality is bad on the ARB, but that the LSR is so much better thought out. ARB causes V8 to overheat easily. Even with additional scoop.

I think that we're gettin recovery points and towing points mixed up there for recovery however I have in the past used these tabs for a tow bar setup like towmaster or blue ox

 

[bob91yj]

Yep. recovery point would be better terminology.

I don't get the angled tow points on the GC bumper.

I was thinking the same thing. Most pulls are to pull you straight, now you are putting more side load on the tow/recovery point.

I always put them on the same plane as the wings and in 12 years and about 280 bumpers I've never had 1 crack or tear out so I think they're fairly strong

Are the tow points on the outside of the bumper, or are they through the bumper to the "frame"?

The Trailready is a nice looking bumper but with the ongoing talk of the radiator support the LSR would get my vote. The ARB is nice bumper but to me it so out dated compared to some in house stuff being built.

 

[fabsomuch]

The recovery points are 3/8 thick part off mounting brackets plus another 3/8 tab to double up, keeps it from bending.

 

[fabsomuch]

The recovery points on all my bumpers are designed to ether be or weld to mounting brackets








cheers.

I am sorry I dont know what you trying to say.

They all go through the bumper to the "frame"
