Question for 2012+ ARB owners

Posted this in the bids when I meant to pot it here:

It looks like the bumper now sits directly in front of the stock bumper whereas my LC80's bull bar completely replaced my OEM number. Did ARB change this for the latest Tacomas? Looks like it makes the truck about 8" longer. Any feedback would be great thanks.

 

I don't have one (or any aftermarket bumper), but I think they look a bit funny too. The factory bumper is trimmed to fill a gap that exists when the bumper is mounted. I was 100% sold on ARB until I read this. I have seen a few of them since, and think they still look pretty good but they do make the truck look longer.

 

I have one on my truck. Yes you are required to trim your existing bumper cover, but its not a major undertaking. I think the bumper can look weird in photos, but in person it looks very proportional.
