Not aussyland literally, Aussyland like Austraila. Not sure where he ordered it from but I'll ask when he gets back from Va-K

Dude -- call 4x4 Connection and talk with them about options for your vehicle. They'll talk with you straight and they currently have a sale on both TJM and ARB bumpers. I got the TJM T15 shipped to me in a reasonable amount of time and my total was under $650. The comparable ARB bumper cost more and wasn't in stock. In fact, I was kind of hoping to find an ARB bumper instead of the TJM, but the shipping time was ridiculous -- at least a month. Maybe 4x4Connection has a better line on the ARBs at this time. Who knows. Either way, they seem to have the best deals on both brands and they will help you with all the questions you have.

Had a TJM on my 96. Did NOT like that pesky plastic cover that went over the winch handle. Had to tape the thing down after losing one. Otherwise it was a good bumper.
I remember seeing where someone had bent their steel TJM while winching.
Have ARB on my 01 now. Better made overall. The truck frame will give up before the bumper bends while winching.
Advantage: ARB
