Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Good to know I hadn't researched whether all Australian brands did so.

 

I really like that bumper but damn!!

 

Talking about the Ironman 4x4 Raid bumper?

 

Yes. I want a forward facing fairlead now. Not a fan of the downward facing.

 

gotcha. If you get stuck in a good bog hole it will mean less muck to sift through to find you cable. I'm probably just going to drill my roller fairlead and go back to steel cable on the front as I'm cheap and can't justify $58+ for a piece of aluminum and spacers to clear the bumper lips. I'm too abusive for synthetic anyways.

 

ARB also makes roo bars for the turd gen. Summit Bumper Bars

 

ARB bumpers have a crumple zone.

 

If only that would work for the forward facing camera and TSS.

 

Must be a new feature as mine is completely flat there like most offroad bumpers

 

Thats a photo from a 1st gen. https://www.parksoffroad.com/tacomamods/arbfrontbumper/bullbar.html Website looks a bit dated.

EDIT: Yeah looks like he bought the truck new.

 

do you just come in here once a day now to find something and twist it lmao

 

Inviting you in here was the best idea. Thanks @Calamity_taco !

 

you and @Sasquatch3153 should've moved 4 hours closer to me, then we could all hang/wrench more.

 

You don't need all those nannies anyway! Relocate the camera to the bumper. E-Z

 

be preperared for me actually using this but there is a lot to catch up on lol

bring it!

arb is the only one that is rated for an accident most offroad bumpers will not deploy airbags or they will deploy at the wrong time of impact and cause an injury

ive been yes but i followed johnny and some from the midwest krawlers so i dont know the area but its neat as long as it isnt a super windy day! it makes it rather annoying for me lol

yup others dont always go off or its a delayed response

pizza you say? hmmm so what would happen if someone came over and idk put your truck on blocks you know hypothetical here

tbh id just put the flare on and ignore it but if it bothers you that much check out some local shops and see what they can do blue springs ford fixed my si when the fender got bent from shipping and it was a good fix and couldnt even notice it anymore

soooo what you buyin me???

thats what i was thinking is i wouldnt worry about it i doubt its affecting it all that much

it was a rather big mistake bringing matt in here lmao at least i didnt tag the other one...

 

dont they make delete kits and such now?

 

I find it hard to believe that a bumper would have any effect on the inertia switches that control airbag deployment. I am not saying it cannot happen, but all you need is enough impact to shake the sensor the right way and poof! I've seen these airbags go off as slow as 15mph.

Konza Overland has a good map you can download and display over google maps if you want to explore the flint hills but on a rare non windy day its indeed quite pleasant.

 

Hey don’t treat me like one of your cheap boy toys!!

 

oh ffs...
