ARB bumper, will a 2005 fit on a 2013

Hi all,

I've got the chance to buy an ARB bumper for $500, the catch is that is meant for the 2005-2011 models. Does anyone know if this older style will fit on a 2013 taco? Thanks!

 

No idea but if it's in good shape for $500 I'd make that bitch fit. Dunno what they go for on 2nd gens but 1st gen ARBs are $900 before shipping and taxes

 

For $500, take it and make it fit...I’m sure it will fit with minimal modifications...after all it is the same truck.

 

Better to send me a link first and let me check it out.

 

Sounds like the best idea to me...

You'd have to drive out to Bozeman, MT.... which might throw a wrench in your plans.

 

I say you let one of us with that gen take it.... ahem...hint, hint
and let us direct you towards one that will fit yours.

 

There's a couple of guys on here that made them fit. From memory, you do have to modify the back of the hoop mounts to clear the grill.

 

not without some cutting since its a smaller version of the later arb.

 

Cutting of the front bumper? Or would I be looking at moving the mounting points?

 

@NMW 4x4 - Op see his posts. He has an early 2nd gen ARB on a late 2nd gen truck.

 

Thank you! Just what I was looking for.

 

Did you end up putting the bumper on? I'm in the same boat with a 2014 and Im planning to put an early bumper on.

 

Man that was a good deal.

 

Yea man! It was a small mission but it’s been 4 years now I still love it. I was able to sell my stock bumper for 150$, which beats cutting it up! As long as you have a grinder and some friends or an engine crane to help test fit the bumper, you’ll be able to figure it out. You have to cut and bend the stock bumper mounts (super easy) and cut out the small right angle support on the inside of the headlight hoops (where the vertical supports hook into the body of the bumper). I know, confusing, but get the bumper and it will make sense! The sub frame bolts right on with no cutting
