ARB Bumper?

@Kheiron

 

It was on the truck when i bought it. Only reason i keep it is because i dodge deer all the time and am sure to hit one and hope it helps.

This guy likes his ARB. He’s kind of a jackass, though. Do not engage.

 

ARB front bumper will always be one of my favorites, BUT not for the 3rd gen Taco

 

Love ARB bumper but this install was a pita theres alot of trimming

 

absolutely a perfect truck in my opinion. Well done! I like how yours doesn’t look like there’s quite as big of a gap between the bumper and the flare. Not sure why some have such a big gap there?

 

The mount bolts have slots where you have some adjustments. Final assembly is that you would drill 2 holes per side to lock it in. Before i drilled those locked holes I push it up and back against the flare as possible to eliminate the huge gap.

 

ahhh gotcha. Well it turned out amazing. Love it.

 

Thank you. It's your turn now for an arb bumper

 

It’s definitely on the list but I don’t know if I have the acorns to take on the task myself. Would prefer someone like you who has done it before to help

 

The install took some time, I made a video of my install here. The bumper is noticeably heavier.

Didnt know this was you. I use your video alot for my install. Just wanted to say thank you .

 

Sure no problem....I've been meaning to do another one follow up video. If I were to do it again I probably would have went with something a little smaller. I have some lights and a winch installed now.

Did you notice a huge difference with the weight on your front end?

 

Not really I knew what I had coming. I had the same bumper on my 2nd gen. I actually only paid 700 bucks for mines, since it was just scratch up.

 

I like mine, but I’m thinking about changing to a C4 fab low pro. It has done me well, and with the proper springs doesn’t affect anything.

 

This comment exists because the ARB bumper is the bumper I'd love to get one day. I do share sentiments about the lip, though. But still a hawt bumper. Any more pictures to drool over?

 

Here are some

 

I really like that bumper!

 

dubktrd, Out of curiosity how much gap would you say there is between the fender flare and fender bar? I've been looking at the full combo for a while now and haven't figured out if I could fit a set of Bushwacker flares underneath the fender bars without rubbing.

 

I loved my ARB on my 1st Gen 4Runner and would like to get one for my 3gen Tacoma but if its weighing in at 170 pounds I will have to pass my other one was about 80 pounds I was told it was 140/150 but was not even close to that I did the install by my self
