ARB makes good stuff.  and the un-exposed winch mount kicks ass.

yeah, but probably even more useful since the stock X front is made up entirely
of plastic.  sure, metal underneath, but the coverings are all plastic.  and
very easy to break.  that nice solid steel ARB can take a beating without even
noticing it. ;)

hmm, the ARB is the last thing on my list of things to do to the X (underside
armor being first, full skidplates and sliderz) the next is suspension, and
then the ARB and winch last.  just ordered the Silderz and Skip Plates this
week, can't wait for them to show up.

anyway, my point was, see how much he would charge to make one for the X, and
do you know anyone who can power coat it?  also, it's got the have the "hidden"
winch mount, since a truck without a winch is a truck that is stuck.  ;)
