Does anyone out here make their own ARB style sliders and/or bumpers for the Jeep TJ?
I just picked up a '97 TJ and am looking to get some gear for it. I know when I was in the US there were quite a few guys making their own "ARB style" sliders and heavy duty bumpers much cheaper than normally priced. Unfortunately I can't weld, but would be willing to pay someone on here to make me some.
I'm in Auckland area but would travel or possibly ship.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Custom ARB style sliders and bumpers for TJ
Which type are you after? There seems to be 2 arb types....one that looks like it bolts to the panels and one that welds to the chassis...
If you're out south (Manukau) gimme a yell and I'll take a look. The Air bag thing may be an issue with the bumpers...I can talk to the cert guy and see what we have to do...

I believe that works on JKs, not on TJs. The bumper sits squarely on the front ends of the frame on a TJ, there are holes in the frame behind that towards the tyres which act like crumple points.
