Reviews for ARB 3450080 Deluxe Winch Bull Bar Bumper in Black for 97-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ

All the quality you expect from an Aussie built "roo bar" would recommend some frame tie ins if you wanna do any hardcore winching it uses the factory three bolt holes and the two used for the factory tow hooks. Will update when I install.

Best bumper ever! Installation was rather simple even for a novice like me. One month after installing the bumper someone slid on ice in front of me. As I locked on my brakes, I also slid on ice and hit t-boned their vehicle. My Jeep sustained no damage thanks to my ARB bumper and you cannot see any damage on the bumper. The other people in the vehicle where fine even though my bumper punctured their door. If I did not have this bumper, I believe my Jeep would have been totaled out. Additionally, I really like the way that the bumper houses my Warn Sean 10S winch and has spots to mount my PIAA lights.

I've had 5 Jeep Cherokees from 1999 to 2001. I always put the ARB bull bar bumper on as insurance against deer hits. Only hit a deer once and that was by my son. He told me he was doing about 55 on the interstate when he hit the deer on the right front corner. Only damage was the bumper bent backwards about 1 inch on the right side, but only if you are looking for it. No other damage. This is one tough bumper.

Tough, functional, meant to last the life of the vehicle, did I mention pretty? 2nd bumper from Arb. My Tj has had its bumper since 2006. The powdercoat has recently started to show signs of wear after years of, lets say some vigorous use. Using dielectric grease will help with the amber light bulb seating. It will flicker if you don't. It works.
