2016 Tacoma ARB Bumper Tease

What I want to know is twofold.
1. What OME coil spring they are using (and approximate lift)?
2. If the have modified their rear shocks to fit the 2016 lower shock mount, or if the 2016 lower shock mount is bigger than the 2015?

I would have already ordered my OME lift for my 2016 (on order still) if I knew for sure that I was getting the right spring and if the rear shocks would mount up. I assume that an 885 or 886 are still correct, but I want to see what ARB has to say about this first.

I am also curious if the remote resi coilover pictured above on a Gen2 tacoma is actually going to come to market (ARB BP-51). I do not see it listed on the ARB page yet for Tacomas but the photo above shows that ARB is atleast testing it out on Tacomas. Maybe the Gen 3 at Sema will have this? Hmmm? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Yeah, that's kind of their style though. Most ARBs give the truck a swollen front lip look.

 

That generally happens when you add a winch...

(Looks like a winch ribbon on the bottom left of the picture.)

 

you mean like this?

 

You're forgetting two key points:

1) If something in a 3rd gen is similar to a 2nd gen, 2nd gen owners will hate it.
2) If something in a 3rd gen is new vs a 2nd gen, 2nd get owners will hate it.

 

Here's a sneak peak of InsainFab's bumper on Toytec's SEMA build.



The chin is gone lol

 

The sides look more narrow than mine......I like it better.

 

but now pedestrians will go straight under the vehicle

 

Not sure why these people trying to match that butt ugly grill. Building bumper that sticks out as far as that retarded grill just creates more overhang. Like having 4 feet of overhang at the rear does not suck enough

 

Beautiful bumper!

 

We know.

 

I am a 2nd gen owner. Must be the exception. When I had my FJ I thought ARB bumpers were ugly. Then I went to the FJ Cruiser Summit, saw them in person and loved them.

 

The arb does look like its mounted over the plastic bumper, cant imagine it will be like that once its on the market. And ya gotta have room for the winch so its gotta stick out. Nevr gonna get a winch in that nice insainfab bumper. Thr grill should just be cut in half and the bumper made like the 2nd gens.

 

Yeah. At this rate, the front overhang may end up being longer than rear's.... Somebody at ARB is fucking high if he thinks it will sell.

Cut that factory bumper and grill already!!!!

 

Like it. This may look good, although a little bit of bumper protruding would be bad, either.

 

From TW Instagram. Not sure of legitimacy, but it looks good to me.

 

Well, 6-7 years from now when Toyota Pickup #3 for me becomes a reality due to the whole family DC requirement, ARB bumper #3 will definitely have to happen as well. Much better looking than the factory setup. My only question will be whether or not I end up lifting again.

 

Front bumper looks great! Any news on when this will be avaliable???

 

Here's some more angles of the ARB bumper and some of the BP-51 coilovers
