    Hello All,
    HELP
    So I have an ARB winch bumper for my 2007 Tacoma crew cab 4x4 with no mounting brackets. The local shop just quoted me $740. for missing brackets and hardware. The critical part numbers may be 3756794L and 3756794R, 3756781 may also be required.
    A thread from 2013 suggests a US customer got these parts for 50 bucks.
    Does anyone have a link, a pattern or parts they would sell me?. The original brackets were not returned from a written off tacoma.
    cheers
    tango

    Call ARB USA.

    If you just have the bumper, you are needing a LOT of parts.

    I can probably get the bolts at the local hardware store. Mostly looking for the brackets.

    The cheese grade bolts you buy at the local hardware store won't get you far if you ever plan on winching.

    You're missing over half the parts necessary to achieve a successful installation. That's why your price quoted is a little over half the cost of a new kit. I still think you should call ARB USA and explain to them what your problem is. They are usually pretty good about cutting a deal on replacement parts to an individual. But since you're an expert on the subject material, don't worry with them.

    The cradle that bolts to the frame of the truck is the most important part. Maybe you could glue some popsicle sticks up and duct tape yourself a solution. The stone tray, if missing is just some cello tape and a pizza box. That will give you that custom look you're looking for.

    Ya do huh? That's great. Here's the parts list: http://www.carid.com/images/arb/off-road-bumpers/pdf/arb3423030-installation-instructions.pdf

    Go for it. Have fun.

    Oh yea, when you post threads asking for help, then respond in a condescending tone, no one will really want to help you.

    Ive had the parts list for a while already but thanks for the link. Like i said have already talked to ARB USA. I also know the Auzies have done a fair bit of engineering to make it all work, even the airbag. I may give them a call.
    I also have a local TW guy who may have the goods.

    The good thing is in our 05+ trucks, the airbag sensor has nothing to do with the bumper. It's a little box on the radiator core support that looks like a trailer breakaway switch. When installing your bumper, avoid it like the plague. It should have yellow marked flex loom leading to it. Best thing is to disconnect your negative battery cable.

    The real issue of why you need the engineered cradle is that it works around a crumple zone. It's why the ARB has no recovery points.
