My vote is in for the TJM T-15 or T-17. You just can't match those beautiful lines.
This is the T-15
And the T-17 |

i guess i will double post...i dropped in on the 2005 spy link and said what i am about to say now... i am in for the tjm 15 (the steel one)...i like rovertym stuff, but i am not so good with the "blade" design of the rovertym bumper. i guess i am building a hybrid street/trail rig. i want something with "stock"er lines, but the ability to mount a winch and give better than stock approach. that is my logic for my truck, anyway... i will put in my kudos for john at EE...if you want to hear them in full...check the 2005 spy link...too late to retype it all... mike |

I only have one gripe about the ARB and TJM bumpers. The winch mounts below the bumper, not above it like the old (non-airbag) bumpers. It's super hard to get the winch cable re-wound on the winch on those bumpers. Thanks, Mike B. |

Go the TJM T15, at least it protects all the front, Id hate to hit a roo or cow with the Rovertym bar. |

Rovertym. Just bought one and had it shipped all the way to Alaska. That's how much I liked it. |
