ARB for 2012 Tacomas

Looks great.

 

that looks outstanding on your truck! and the seeing your spruce mica makes me wish i bought it instead of black. the bumper looks way way better with some decent pictures especially on a lifted truck. I still like the old style way better... but this one is not as bad as i thought in previous pictures. ARB's are top notch and quality is second to none... just really wish it was snug and you didnt have to chop up the factory bumper.

 

Anyone with a white DCLB get one of these installed yet? pics?

 

Not a DCLB, but at least it's white:

Any chance of pics where they cut?

 

Never mind . I saw. Basically they cut the bumper off near the top tabs. Bull bar bumper is the same 05-current w/ fogs

 

I have seen that one and it looks huge on that reg cab. Or maybe the reg looks small on that bumper?

 

I think it's the smaller tire size that throw it off. If it had bigger tires and/or a lift then it would look normal.

 

Semi old thread, but a guy on CL is selling his for cheap, but it's not a 2012.
any chance I might be able take it work?

 

It's been done before and looks good. I'd try it if you can get access to a welder and metal saw in case it's needed.

 

Member? Link? Pics?

 

The Oakley tacoma (google search) and I saw pictures a couple times on here. Sorry it was a while and I don't recall where. Someone else may have more info.

 

Looks good! Im a fan of color matching the ARB bumper!

 

It wasn't cheap, but I love the look. I've only seen white and red color matched before, so I wasn't sure how good it would look. Worth it.

 

Gentlemen,

I really like the look of the 05-11 ARB Bull Bar. But I have a 2014 DC Taco. Anyone know if the 05-11 will fit the 12-14 trucks..?

 

I understand that it will physically fit, but will not line up well with the panels on the front leaving large gaps and/or contact with those panels.

 

I hear you..!!! I was hopping someone had mounted one up so I could see these particular problems. ARB in a corporate way answered me the same. If someone local with an 05-11 would have one on id be game to try it out on my 2014. Just spending 1k on a bumper that wont look right is hard to swallow.

 

I've still been considering this for my 2012. If the gaps are too big I'd probably go the route of adding shrockworks panels for $99. Just haven't quite scratched the cash together yet...
