    TJM is basically a copy of the ARB and should be close to, if not identical, in strength. The top bars are a little different, but they are very similar. You should be able to find the ARB in stock somewhere. I bought mine from TRDparts4U, which is just the Toyota of Dallas parts department that happens to carry several other off-road brands. Other places like @Truck Brigade or @state48overland might also be able to help.

    Since there are so many options, it's unlikely that the fab shops will have any just waiting to ship. If you need something quick, the ARB is probably your best bet (and I don't consider that settling at all, as it was my first choice).

    What brand ARB are you talking about? Sorry this lingo isn’t my first language.

    I'm probably a day late and dollar short. Both front and rear bumpers got hit and I took the insurance check and drove around with damage until i got the bumper I wanted. But my damage was mostly local do the bumper with minor cosmetic damage to parts around.
    This might be a long shot for you, but if you know a welder, oo if the body shop will take on the job you can order a bumper kit and have it welded together. I've been looking at the NWTI front bumper kit to replace my eBay front.
    Also, I did bed liner over paint and it hold up pretty well, but I do next to no offroading. Occasionally tough it up with a rattle can.

    looks like Ironman is doing 20% off bumpers right now, but I don't see one offered for my year.

    Does anyone know the true part number for pre face lift 2nd Gen ARB bumpers? 4wp lists two different numbers in Canada and the price is slightly different.

    We're looking at the exact same model, the 17JG. How do you like it? How does it pull on hills? We're considering taking it to Colorado from time to time.

    I was thinking the same thing, surprisingly good results considering the speed. I hit a moderately sized while tail at 45-50 that must have been in mid jump, as it flew straight up, and I passed underneath it. Saw it get up and run off in the mirrors. The morning review was some free fur on the ARB and a slight uplift on the bumper. I once hit a squirrel at around 125 in a Saab 9-5 that did a surprising small amount of damage that proved impossible to repaint as the rubber bumper cover was permanently deformed as if melted.

    I don't normally see squirrels around or on highways. Where in the world were you going 125 that you hit a squirrel?
