    As far as a front bumper I had to make a decision as well...I went with the ARB for durability and they whole reason why they were made in the outback and all that crap...bashing the roos

    I personally had a show down with a deer going up to Lake Tahoe...literally going from 65mph down to 30 in a quick second....the deer and I had a face off in the middle of the night...my girlfriend woke up in the passenger seat freaked out....I was freaked out cuz of my plastic stock bumper

    Here is a pic of my all new venison blaster....I really like the way it came out.....however I need some advice for suspension now.....are coil overs a lift?...or do they just raise up the front a few inches......and I heard this can affect the camber of the front wheels.....I'd like some advice on a nice 2.5 or 3 inch lift.....i also heard to STAY AWAY from a rev-tek lift....VF...San Jose CA




    go with old man emu you wont regret it

    Krazie Sj ...your bumper looks like it has a large gap at the back from your other pic.......do you get any rattle when riding on washboard roads since it is so close up towards the front.....instructions said 13mm to 15mm gap.....and Ipunchwalls looks like it will rattle on the streets even....pretty close tight fit....I may adjust mine a tad but I wanted to ride it first off road to see if there was any rattle...since the frame does flex on the tacos.....thanks guys...

    No rattle what so ever. It is kinda tipping back-down a little. I need to get under there and readjust and re-torque some of the bolts. When I first did it I had it dead even at about 15-20mm away from the frame.

    The only sounds from my truck are squeaking leaf springs, front diff thrumming from the lift and my stereo blasting.

    What size winch are you running? I have an ARB Bumper as well but cannot decide on what winch to get.

    Random question, but to all with the ARB bull bar on a 4.0 Double cab.

    What effect (if any) has the bumper had on gas mileage?

    I've installed a few of these lately and I'm really starting to like them as well. I haven't decided to penny up and get the all pro, or go with the cheaper (for me) option, the ARB. I can get an ARB for $600

    These bumpers look great! I don't need a full off road bumper, but it sure would be nice to have some metal up front instead of the plastic bumper. I am pretty sure a deer hit to the front of my truck would result in my having to walk for help.

    I currently have an ARB bumper but stupid me didn't order a winch when I bought it.

    Does anyone know if I can install a winch without taking the bumper off?

    Do the stock fog lights fit? And what is the little yellow/orange light installed next to the fogs?

    I ordered mine yesterday and need to know what I need to do for the fogs to be installed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Nope, you have to remove the bumper to get at it.


    White light is marker lights, orange is turn signals. With DTRLs the orange ones are on. With the lights set to marker lights position it lights up both sets of light, marker and turns. When set to driving lights position just the white marker lights are on.

    Where do you get the white/orange light? Does it come with the bumper?
    Do you know if the stock fogs fit?

    Thanks for your help Krazie

    The marker lights come with the bumper.

    Arb sells the fog lights separately, I don't believe the stock ones fit.
