    Was at Facebook and this popped out... You can see how they installed the bullbar and other stuff: Do you think they will put the snorkel? Or try out a rear bumper?

    Willing to bet no snorkel. The Tacoma design is specific to NA and Safari is an Australian company. ARB has repeatedly stated there wasn't enough interest in the 1st gen market to be profitable to Safari and the 2nd gen snorkel requires modification.

    The rear bumper... Yes, ARB designed and prototyped one, yes I've seen it sitting on their floor waiting to go to scrap. Again not enough interest in it to make them.

    I noticed in the pics there isn't much room between the fender and the bar. These frames flex a lot and I'd be concerned about the bumper mashing into the fender during full flex.

    You should see the gap on the 2010+ 4Runner bar, at least 3/4".

    Well, we know that the snorkel for the hilux fits really well... If ARB is installing all their products on that tacoma, I think they will install the snorkel and maybe they will redesign that bumper you say and start production...

    I'm saying this, because these pictures are from the official ARB USA Facebook page...

    Lets see if now they are interested.
