the old instructions sucked. They did revise them. this is the most recent (i called into ARB US Customer Care and had them email them)

 

I don't even remember pictures with my ARB instructions for my 84. Although I didn't have to cut anything off. Just had to remove the front spring perch bolts so the bumper could slide into place.

 

No labels as everything is in one bag.



I'm figuring it out though my thread/size etc

 

Take the carpet out and power wash it. I did that with the junkyard carpet in the 5-lug and it turned out even nicer and cleaner than the carpet in my PreRunner. I put some laundry powder and scrubbed it with my push broom

 

So step 1:


Don’t buy an arb bumper


Good to know

 

Nah, I'm just gunna get new carpet. I want a different color than the way dirty cream color in there now.

 

Any real man can install with minimal instructions.

 

Step 2: Buy a Coastal Offroad DIY bumper so you can make sure it's a custom fit to your truck!

 

I just went to the junkyard and got the cleanest carpet I could find. I find that the aftermarket stuff doesn’t really fit that well and needs a lot of persuasion.

The junkyard carpet cleaned up really nice

 

Ooh, how bout,

Step 2: Stock life

 

Yeah, I did the vinyl flooring in the Tacoma. It's a lot of work but was worth it in the end. Should be similar with the 4runner.

 

VINYL

 

Step 2a: Boooooring...

 

yeah, thats typical of them from what ive read. they also include extras to confuse you even more. hahaha

Hey, at lease you don't have to guess at torque and over torquing

 

College Commuter Life

 

Thought of that since that's what I did in the Taco. But decided I want to 4R to stay a "little bit" nicer. I'll get Weathertech mats or some shit at some point.

 

Thanks for this. When I input my vin number nothing came up. I’m not sure if they are original or not. Should I still call anyway to see?

 

It happens. Too bad knowledge is useless.
