Default TJM & ARB bumpers

some questions:

1. are these repairable? like kapag nakatama or natamaan ng another car and nagka dent and bend.

2. are these covered by insurance?

3. are these safer than stock bumpers?

i'm planning to convert my patrol to 4wd, but i also like to change my bumper to ARB Sahara. but i can only choose one by december and the other will have to wait for a year or 2.

4. for safety reasons, which should go first (4wd or bumper)?

I think I would go with the 4wd first. Ako walang TJM or ARB (can't afford them) pero super happy naman kapag kasama ng DC.org at PORCI sa trails.

Yung Sahara bar ng ARB is aimed more at the urban-SUV's. Ayaw mo ba nung mga commercial bars (the black ones). They look more serious, are cheaper, and are tougher than the Sahara bars.

Btw, the bumpers are not covered by insurance unless you declare their presence. At which point, you will pay a premium. If your bumper is black or painted, nagagawan ng remedyo yan when damaged. Yung chrome mahirap na ayusin unless you paint over it.

sa sobrang tigas nito malamang buo pa ito after collision,
di ba si ungas may na front end na sport trac, wala naman nasira sa kanya

2. are these covered by insurance?
kung kilala mo insurance outfit baka pede, or additional to the value na lang
3. are these safer than stock bumpers?
100% trust me on this one

Yung LC80 dito sa school na naka-ARB, rear-ended a REVO sa Espana. Wasak ang REVO. Ni-hindi nasira yung bumper mounted signal lamps nung LC80.

Yes, at some point, they can still be redone back to its own form, ofcourse it should be done by experts.

2. are these covered by insurance?
If you enroll them with the vehicle along with its policy. But for some reasons other insurance will not accept it as an added accesory

3. are these safer than stock bumpers?
Definitely! Tested and proven.

i'm planning to convert my patrol to 4wd, but i also like to change my bumper to ARB Sahara. but i can only choose one by december and the other will have to wait for a year or 2.

4. for safety reasons, which should go first (4wd or bumper)?
Set your sight on 4WD first. Bumpers and other works will soon to follow suit.

remember the sahara bumper iw as selling you before. i forgot to tell you that it was still available, the other buyer did not buy it because he sold his patrol. he is the same owner of the 2nd hand 4wd convertion. so the sahara bumper is still available pm me for price. btw have you inquired the price of a new sahara bumper? maybe you can buy both. he he

but i would go for the 4wd first if you will only choose one.

Boybi, the Sahara,although nice, would look ricey in a 4x2

Pero i dont necessarily recommend you run to your nearest Nissan dealer and get a 4x4 conversion

A better option IMO, is wait for the excise tax issue to resolve itself and get an SUV with 4x4 built in

convertion is quite easy on the gu, dagdag parts ka lang... mas mahal nga lang kaysa bumper ang gastos. pareho lang parts nyan saka safari

boybi, PM mo rin sa akin yung cost ng pagconvert ha. baka in the near future, pwedeng gawin to sa patrol namin

IMHO, mas gusto ko yung bare bones na bumper nila. less damage din in the event of a collision. pero mas may use yan coz of the mounted lights sa bumper mismo. but you could aslo put auxiliary lights sa ordinary bumpers nila
