Classic ARB lines, makes the front of a 3rd gen look better. Hides that ugly grill. I need to start building a bumper for the Tundra because ARB only makes a Safari bumper and that is lame.

 

Don't be that i have such great multi tasking.

I should do a video of the capabilities of my multi tool... Solder a wire, then weld some plastic and finish up with burning some wood.

 

I didn't realize until recently that they have no recovery points. ARB FTL

You really couldn't find a spot on that 750 pound bumper for at least one recovery point.

 

Yea, Monday would be fine. Thanks!

 

The last time i had a welder, it did double as a plasma cutter.

 

Yeah but you could find good scrap for .50 a pound.
Start with 3/16. It's a good base to start with.

 

We used the tig for that too but something tells me you were not using a tig. ​

 

Zoom the picture in. You retain the factory location on the drivers side. And ARB jut released a cool recovery point at SEMA for the passenger side to replace the factory one.

 

Tactical Innovative and Gasless. Yup, it was a TIG.

 

Yeah i saw the "cool" aka foking expensive one which is when i realized it. Gotcha, figured the stock one went away.

 

When I worked at Slee about 10 years ago we had a rep come by and explain why. The basics of the conversation went that there were concerns from litigation due to snatching/pulling that was tearing the bumpers off. Some changes with Australian law meant that the recovery points were required to be certified were also mentioned. If you get a chance, look to ARB AU at some of the recovery point options, very large/clunky/overbuilt that take away ground clearance.

 

I think I have some 1/4-1/2 scrap crap metal

 

It's called death by coconut, it's a disgrace not to call it by its full name.............

Probably my second favorite beer. Denver beer co/right brain had a colab last year that was a peanut butter bacon brown..... That tastes like Jesus in my mouth

 

Helloooooooooooooooo People!

 

I saw one of the posting for this: What is the mechanical use of such bracket?

 

What would a spring rating needed to support an ARB bumper? Looking at the spec bumper weights 180#? WOW! Is that normal?

 

Probably so you can put a strap to the other side to keep the play doh bed from separating.

 

It's a bed stiffener. For when ya put too much weight on bed sides and seperate them
