Copycat ARB bumpers and others

**wildthing** · January 17th, 2003 10:02 PM

Here is the update nung gumagawa ng copycat ARB bumpers in AC, after naming magusap:

The bumpers they have done are mostly visual copycats only. Unless you can give them the exact measurements of the original (or can show them the orig) they could copy it for you exactly!

The cost varies depending on the ride. Kasi iba-iba ang haba and design needed for each ride variety. You'll have to talk to them personally. Estimates (please do not hold this as a firm quotation because it is them who will give the final quotation) - suzuki or wrangler size ARB design bumpers would be around P8,500, frontier would be around P10,000. Price estimates are primer painted only. Additional cost to powder coat it. The prices are also negotiable daw... for group orders, they are willing to negotiate the price at a good bargain.

The bumpers are sturdy enough to handle winch and hi-lift jacks.

As for the pictures of these ARB copycat bumpers that they have done, I will still have to get the pictures and develop it....hopefully I can post them next week.

They can also do safari snorkels (di pa nga lang complete ang mga models). The cost estimate P5000 without installation. They can install but charge separately.

Hopefully I could get pictures too next week.

They can also get other goodies abroad (original ones) for 4wheeling, you just name it and they'll try to get it for you.

They can do bodylift, suspension lift and suspension modifications too.

Post nyo na lang kung ano pa tanong ninyo.

Wildthing : I'll make a wild guess who makes the bumpers, - Garo Quizon of Angeles City. Last time I spoke to him, he had just finished a Mazda bumper and was making one for a Strada. By now he should have made more applications.

I am a believer in the craftmanship of Pampanguenos, they will surely create a beautiful replica.

However, allow me to explain briefly what the Australians put and consider when building their bullbars/roo bars :

1. Crumple and Crush Zone - Although the bullbars are more robust than the o.e. bumper they are also designed to crush/crumple during a frontal collision in order to absorb/dampen the impact. A bullbar constructed too rigidly may be dangerous, it may not absorb the force of the impact but transfer it to the driver and occupants. A bullbar constructed too weakly will also spell disaster. Type of metal, and engineering play a crucial role here. Getting the bullbar to perform in the proper manner takes years of research and development, extensive testing and heaps of dollars, plus government evaluation and approval.

2. Winch Mount - The bullbar may look like an ARB or TJM, but is it guaranteed to withstand the awesome force of winching. I would easily take assurance from a guarantee made by a reputable company such as ARB or TJM.

3. Air bag rating - If you've got an airbag equipped vehicle, use an airbag rated bullbar. Using counterfeit bullbars in this case is akin to a game of Russian roulette.

I'm not sure if Garo is the brother, but my mechanic is actually Dayu...yes what he showed me was the Mazda B2200 with the copycat ARB bumpers.

Indeed, I would really agree that getting the orig would give the money's worth...I personally would get an original if I have the money to pay for it.

Sana umulan ng pera (huwag lang coins) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yup Garo is the younger (but bigger) brother!

Kahit umulan ng coins okay lang basta puro 10 at 5, lalabas ako ng bahay na may hawak na batya at nakasuot ng helmet!

ungas: yes, this is ted from the ai org.

free: i agree with u, mas masarap nga kung bolt on replacement, kaso most people would DARE to be creative, just to save money. btw, do u know if tjm or arb have these kind of bumpers that costs just around 10t?

Hi Ted!

Not even in our wildest dreams will we see an Aussie bullbar cost in the vicinity of PHP 10,000.

Thai / Malay bullbars would be in that range, but the issues I earlier mentioned still apply.

**lc80** · January 25th, 2003 09:57 AM

ted,
yup got your pm. ill post the link when i have the pic....

**Ungas** · January 25th, 2003 10:57 AM

Freeman::: Is there an available part for the rear bumpers of TJM? I saw an ARB with extra tail lights mounted on a Safari. :D
