ARB bumper or snorkel?

**jay crew** · January 7th, 2003 08:12 PM

guys need your opinion, bukas pupunta ako sa shop dyan sa alabang and nagdadalawang isip ako kung arb na bumper or safari snorkel ang papalagay ko, isa lang muna kc papalagay ko di pedeng sabay kulang sa budget, ano sa tingin ninyo ang unahin kong ipalagay.

sa opinion ko lang po, bumpers muna. pag isipan mo muna mabuti ang snorkels kasi bubutasan ang body, though maganda talaga tingnan and very useful kung laging baha ang dinadaanan mo. pero kung baha ang inaalala mo for installing a snorkel, meron ka pang 6 months para pagisipan yan, besides mataas naman na ang strada mo. opinion ko lang po.

theres a big difference on the price of the two. if you buy the snorkel you can still buy shocks for your car compared to the price of the bumper. but both items are good and useful.

A very good ARB bumper (thick gauge metal) copycat dito sa AC could go around 8,000 (simple design no paint) to 16,000 (exotic design with powder coating paint) lang.... snorkel (safari) I think is 12,000....

Go for the snorkel....may dagdag na power....pag maglelevel 2 or higher ka na sa off-roading soon then go for the bumpers....

Suggest ko lang kung kaya mo pang ibenta at a good price ang orig bumpers mo e get both the bumpers (copycat na lang kasi gagalusan mo lang naman diba) and snorkels.

wildthing,

Saan iyang copycat bumper na iyan? Will it stand up to abuse like the real ARB/TJM/ECB bumpers? ARB kasi pwedeng gawing jacking point (if you have a hi-lift jack). Pwede ding pang-tumba ng small trees.

jay crew,

Ako, I'd rather get the bumpers muna. Maganda naman ang design ng intake ng 4D56, eh. Kahit hanggang headlamp yung tubig hindi naman basta papasukin. Direct fit ang ARB bumper. Don't worry. Siyempre yung orig na ARB bumper may orig na ARB sticker sa harap. Tapos pulido ang gawa and on some models may warning stickers pa kesyo it is not designed for so and so etc.

reasonable price na ba yung 14500 for the bumper? and ano maganda yung plain lang or yung parang may nudge bar?

IMO, go for the ARB bumpers, mas maganda kung complete with bullbars para damay na protected mga lens ng sasakyan. And kunin mong model yung butas pang abang sa WINCH. :D

Mura na yan for ARB bumper, for my model it was pegged at 32K without installation fee pa yun. :?
