4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
I've been looking around for some lighter weight winch bull bar bumpers for the FJ Cruiser. However, I really have not been able to come up with much. Most of the talk is about the ARB. The ARB is a good product, but put a 75 lb. winch with it, and the front end drops about an inch. I was wondering you any of the fourm members have ran across any other brands that might be less heavy than the ARB?
I also plan on replacing the steel winch cable with a lighter weight Amsteel Blue rope to save additional weight. TIA.

Yes, but I also read somewhere that you can fold a mercedes up like a beer can with the ARB and only take home a scratch and a sore neck.

I really like the Demello bumper, it may tempt me to swap out my All-Pro some day. But, since the topic of this thread is a lighter weight winch bar, you have to acknowledge the All-Pro as the only current choice in terms of lightness. The ARB is heavy, judging by the size of the Demello it will be around 90 pounds, and the All-Pro is only 77 Pounds.
