I'm gonna go for the MB aluminum Rubicon bumper - which does come with a skid plate as well.
Its actually lighter than the plastic bumper when all is said and done. I'm just gonna have it RE-powdercoated before mounting it.

(BTW, the rubicon steel skid plate IS different than the Mojave skidplate. Not just in color, but mounting points too.)

Did you mean MP Concepts Aluminum bumper?? If not, do you have a link for the one you are talking about? Thanks, Tony

I read nothing but the 1st 2 lines of the OP's 1st post. The ARB Stubby classic fits with no issues and the lines even match up to the stock Mojave skid plate.

I don’t have a picture on my Mojave yet, as I just installed it yesterday, but the Rough Country Tubular bumper fits fine with the stock skid plate. And it holds a winch, as well as comes with fogs/lightbar.

Here is the breakdown of weights for the Arcus, vs, stock plastic front bumper, to the accuracy of my digital bathroom scale:
stock 36 lb
Arcus hooks 20.4 lb
Arcus facing 15.6 lb
Arcus winch plate 22.2 lb

I replaced those huge, heavy Arcus hooks/recovery points with the Rugged Ridge shackle mounts for the XHD bumper which weigh 9 lb.
I can tell the difference in front end "bouncing" after saving 34 lb. with winch changes (synthetic rope, aluminum hawse, aluminum shackle mount) and the front end raised 1/4 inch from the drop of 3/8 inch originally with the arcus/winch. (yes, I know that seems odd that 70 lb drops the front only 1/8 inch--I will recheck later after driving a while).

I've been eyeing this one for a while, and I believe Rival 4x4 is coming out with the one that retains the factory fogs. Definitely something I've been wanting but I love my ARB Bondi Deluxe too much.

(Picture from the internet, however, if you check out the Rival 4x4 Instagram they have some good pics of it).

Your ARB Bondi is an awesome bumper. Old Man Emu and ARB make great products that will last. If I had an ARB on mine, it wouldn't get changed out.

Good looking JTM
