    Got my ARB Bullbar finally. The guy at the shop says Im the first one to get it installed in USA. Who knows? Everything as far as handling and profile is similar to the ARB Bullbar Ive had on my 06' Tacoma for the last 10 years.

    Its sticks out about the same amount as my old one. I wouldnt call it huge at least in relation to the previous model. I also noticed they added rubber caps to prevent rubbing with the quarter panel. After about 9 years I started noticing the quarter panel had stripped the paint and started to rust a little. So thats a welcome improvement over the old model

    That looks great. Any problems with the weight of the bumper sagging the front end? Are you running a lift?

    Yeah Washington state doesnt have outdoor areas. Guess I better send my bullbar back. Hitting this is way worse than a kangaroo.

    I have an OME lift. On my old tacoma the wheels rubbed the bullbar before i got the lift. Only if i did a hard turn.

    Looks great! I had an ARB on my GX470 and want to go with this on my Taco. Did you have a shop do the install or was it DIY? Just wondering if its something that can be done in the driveway.

    Nice! How much cutting was involved since the Prado and GX470 are a little different up front?

    That bumper makes the front end looks 10x better. The only thing I'd be worried about is the extra weight with the smaller motor.

    Yea, it took a bit of trimming of the fender and I had a local shop do it. Came out great as far as I'm concerned.

    OP, you know ARB's U.S. Headquarters is located In Renton just north of IKEA. Don't know if you ordered through a shop and had it shipped to them but you can will call stuff at ARB and get a chance to talk with the guys there about some of the stuff they have.

    I agree. They are great bumpers. I have one on my FJ

    I got it done at the shop that does installs for them. It was ordered from ARB in Renton. Lucky I did. The one I got on thursday had shipping damage so ARB gave me what was going to be a floor model.
