ARB Bondi full width Bumper

[Smoke Machine]

Really happy with the build quality and look. It really gives a nice integrated/finished look with solid protection without blocking any of the radiator cooling. Need a Warn Zeon 10-s but it’s backed-ordered until HELLfreezes over.

I am debating this bumper. Does the bumper hinder the the camera operation/field of view at all? Are you still pleased with it? Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

I really like the look and the overall quality. I can’t report on winching since my Warn Zeon 10s is back ordered.
The bar does block the front camera just a bit - not hateful though. I’ll snap a pic in the morning and post it. I was drawn to how well they integrate into the fenders. It looks like someone actually cared about making them looking like a factory piece.
I would absolutely buy again.

Looks great. Does it reuse the factory skid plate?

No. The front skid is replaced by one for the ARB.

here’s a pic of how the Bull bar is seen from the front camera.

Let me start off by saying this first, I am not trying to hate on your bumper/skid. I love the look and if I could afford it I would probably get the same one. But my question is, what is the purpose of the skid plate on this bumper or most bumpers, if all it does is "Skid" things straight into your steering/suspension linkage and axle?

Sway bar disconnect unit.


@Smoke Machine which tie rod is that out of curiosity? Been looking for an aluminum unit and I'm between Doetsch here locally and Yeti right now but looking for other options.

Man, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that bumper in an accident. Looks solid.

Thank you for the detailed response and picture. I too like the full width look and the fact it aligns nicely with the fenders. I also like the fact it’s available and all one part number. I ordered from Northridge and it should be here next week. I have a Warn 10s I will be installing in it from my old JK. Will share some pics when complete. Thank you again. Have a good day!

Is the bumper steel? Or aluminum? If steel how much does it weigh? I like the look but want to keep the front end as light as possible without a lift. Looking at the Rock hard full width aluminum bumper as an option only I believe 39 lbs.

Hell waaay to much! That and a 60lb warn 10k winch. Hard pass on that. But thanks for the info. It does look really nice. My first option was going to be the Lod destroyer full width. But it's 87lbs.

Ha! Yea, she's a big girl but I like'm dummie thicccc! Seriously though, I have the option of using the 3.5" lift Clayton spring in the front if I want/need. It's a diesel so not too worried about weight. It drives like a 10! No joke.
