Up for grabs is my slightly used ARB bumper, it will fit a 1993-1998 ZJ. Some minor dents and scrapes, will include buffing pads to lucky buyer.
Pics. :o

Amazingly enough there is no issues with opening or closing doors or the liftgate, the engine runs but the rad is punctured.Jay is gonna look at it tomorrow to see if it can be fixed with the parts off the red one. Even if he can't the only thing that matters is that I walked away without a single scratch.
-
Good to hear your ok dude.
What happened?
-
Glad to hear you are fine....moose?
-
bets on a tree... or maybe even a hill....
Glad to hear you are good buddy.
-
give ya 500 for the whole jeep ;)
-
OUCH!
Glad your ok, details please.

Coming back from Waiparous tonight, hit a huge patch of ice at ranges station corner. Spun 360* and then off the road right into a tree. Hit pretty much dead center of the bumper, no air bags and I walk away without a scratch. Im positive that if I didnt have the ARB I would not be making this post.
Jay has the Jeep now and is gonna look at it some time soon, the wierd thing is that it starts right up, tracks straight, will drive and there is no problems with opening or closing the doors or hatch.
-
glad your ok Fraser.
-
Holy crap dude glad to hear your Ok
-
thats shitty .. glad to hhear your ok
im sure the bumper helped reduce the damage but you jave air bags so you would of been alive with out it just a hell of alot more damage
how fast were you going
-
I was over to Jay's shop tonight to check out his new tube bender. I saw a tow truck with a white ZJ on it's hooks. I say to myself, " That ZJ looks awful familiar" and then I notice the Jeepforum sticker on the back glass. I was sure that Fraser was going to lead a run for some guys today. Maybe he had some mechanical damage? I get out of my truck and walk alongside the Jeep. My freakin jaw damn near fell to my knees when I saw the front bumper and crumpled fenders. It was a big shock to say the least.
I've spun wrenches on Fraser's Jeep and I know he loved this thing. I'm sorry to see such a clean vehicle in that state. Don't let this setback damper your fourwheel enthusiasm bud. We all get spanked from time to time. Make a plan and try to salvage as much of your GC as you can. I hope you get the GC fixed to it's former state or better. Hope to see you on the trails soon.

I hope that your Jeep lives to see another day. I saw pics of your red one and this white one. I thought they were great looking! It's just sheetmetal,plastic, and a bumper/winch. Easy to replace that- your life isn't. I'm glad you are okay.
-
That sucks Man glad to hear you are ok. I feel your pain, dam trees!
-
glad to hear you are ok fraser! good luck with the jeep. :'(
-
Man that sucks! At least you are ok.
-
Whoa... Glad to hear your okay.
-
maybe its time to buy that H2 you want so bad .. hahah
glad your ok .. let me know if you need a hand pulling it apart and putting it back together again
-
It'd be nice if the frame isn't tweaked. Easy enough to find a $500 ZJ not running to pull some body panels from. 8)

last time i checked he has one sitting in his garage ;)
hopefully sh'es not all bent up under the sheet metal buddy. maybe you should just leave the fenders off and run 35s ;)
-

Oh yes, the now China owned Hummer brand.
-
Wow.
You hit HARD!
Good to hear you 'feel' ok. :)
-
Yeah, yesterday was the day I went out with the Hummer and Toyota guys. Those H1' H2's and H3's are pretty darn capable for something their size and weight.
Thanks for all the kind works, hopefully Jay has some good news for me. It will also be neat to see what ARB says, sent them an email with pics in it.
-
So bad karma from runing with imports, won't do that again will ya. Lol
remember my sig
-
brutal. glad yer ok.
-
Glad your okay Frasier. The 940 can be very slippery at night, I personally had many close calls, as well as a few members on this site. Good luck with the rebuild.

Doug ,... your memory id too good. We try to forget that kind of stuff ;D.
You must have hit pretty hard. I have seen XJs with ARB bumpers that landed on the nose real hard (baja style) that had less damage then that. :o
I'm very glad to see you're ok man.
I would go see Dr Tom to make sure you didn't put something out of wack. It could haunt you later in life.
Cheers,
-
haha kinda like not being able to gettin outa ur XJ Dom cus the door was inches away from a tree?
-
Good to hear your ok Fraser
-
Glad to hear you are ok Fraser.
I know the owner of a black xj sitting at Jay's with no engine in it...if you do need any pieces. Let me know if you do and I can get you his contact info I am sure he will be looking to get rid of it at some point soon
Jenn :)

-
Holy crap man, that happened on your way home!! Glad to hear you are ok, that is terrible damage. Really happy to hear you are ok.

Thanks Bill, unfortunately the unibody got kinked pretty good and Jay says its a total loss. I'll yank that switch out and either drop it at your house or have Noel drop it off.
-
That sucks dude. The nice thing is that ZJ's are cheap, so you could swap most of it over. :(
-
Ya I cann't believe how much I paid for mine....... :D
-
I had a strange feeling something was wrong. I stopped for a little bit to number one and thought it peculiar that you didnt pass me.
Sorry bout the loss man.
-
Ya I cann't believe how much I paid for mine....... :D
It's all good....it's what it was worth to me at the time....don't think I'd pay more. :)
-
wow, i finally looked at this post! thats a god hit. this is why arb builds their bumpers with crumple zones to match the vehicle. if you put a regular beefed up steel bumper with no crumple zones the impact would have gone straight to your body on the steering wheel or windshield. air bag may or may not have gone off. good to see you survived.

saw the tree u smoked .. you had to be doing at least 85 .... and its way around the corner you almost had it then you slipped into the ditch and BANG poor litttle tree now it has no life
glad your ok ..
