For the most part these are the same just a bit different. Can't wait till the new foggers come in!!

I had actualy talked to a shop about cutting holes to fit the oem fog lights. Now I don't have to.

 

I'm loving this bumper more and more every time I look at it. I still feel that the ALLPRO is the best looking one but this is still GREAT! Here are some pics with all lights installed.

No lights on...


Running lights on...



Lights and fogs on...




Hazards only...

 

Here in the next few weeks I hope to get either two sets of lights,rectangular and round IPF's and a winch or a roof top tent. Still debating on which is more important right now???? Any help with that one would be nice.

 

So kilo, did you lose any height in the front when you switched to the ARB? I'm thinking of getting one but I don't have a lift... at least not yet. Are you running 886 coils?

 

I didn't measure anything. Maybe I Should have, sorry. I do have the 886 heavy for this reason. When I installed the lift it was supposed to be 3" but did'nt measure that either. I think it's fine. Think that 6" is too much and wish OME had someting like a four inch kit. I think that would be perfect. I still need the winch on there as well.

 

Thanks for the answers and the pics, too!

 

What is the part number for that bumper and appriximate cost? Looks big and should scare the heck out of people wanting to cut one off in traffic.

 

The ARB part number for the bumper with turn signals/marker lights and housing is 3423130 and list is $1024.29 and TRDparts4U sells it at $869. Then you have ARB part number 6821201 the fog lights which list at $77.00 and sell for $74. The oem fog lights will not fit the housing used on the new Tacoma bumpers.

 

I like it alot. The only question I have is about the gap under the headlights. It looks like you would be able to trim the bottom of the grill so it would have to be mounted at an angle, thus eliminating the gap.

 

You can adjust up and down and angle up and down before you throw the impact on it. As far as the gap goes, you can get right up on the body with out trimming anything but, when you get to flexing there is a real good chance of rubbing that could cause damage to the paint and or body. That's what I was told, so we eyed the left and right sides let the middle under the grill fall into its place.

 

Cool

 

Looks great, I think it is about time I ordered mine. A local place in VA (Arlington Motorcar Service - an authorized ARB retailer), told me they just fitted one to a 2012 (which is what I have). I was a bit concerned about fit as the 2012 had slight changes to the grill and bumper. I also contacted ARBUSA in CA, and they stated they were going to fit one to a 2012 next week to see how it matches up. I too like the look of the AllPRO bumper better, but eventually strength wins out with the ARB.

 

Looks great!!!!!!!!!
