    I am not rock crawling or anything intense like that. However, we do own mountainous hunting property with some rather rough and steep roads. I don't wanna worry about running crap over or hitting a deer. I just wanna mow it over and keep going... That is the reason I am looking for a more stout front bumper...

    That looks like a first gen, I think the OP has a 2nd Gen taco...

    The nice thing is, no matter what you get they will all do the job well. I think it's just a matter of what looks best to you.:)

    Hey Freedom I noticed that you have the Foglight and parking light sockets in yours like the FJ bumper. Is this a newer model? If so Im so bummed I like that style better than mine where I dont have the foglight places.
    By the way nice truck:D

    wow, def. tough choice to make. I'm actually going with the allpro through there group buy thats going on now. They look IMO better on the 2nd gens. ARB may be a bit tougher from the looks but not sure. But as stated in some other post's, your truck, do what you think you will LOVE. :)

    First off you have a truck...don't disrespect it by calling it a car :smack: :D

    I think the ARB would make it look more 4x4 off roadish, the All Pro has more of a baja look than any of the others...

    Yeah bro they recently updated the bumper. Guess ARB was getting too many requests to match it like the FJ bumper.

    How does the ARB bumper match up with the factory fog lights? Does the factory fog lights fit right into the ARB bumper?

    How is the quality and performance of the IPF lights say compared to Hella or PIAA?

    Are there any other bumpers that were not mentioned here? Seems Allpro, ARB and Shrockworks seem to be the most popular. I'd like to see some other pictures if anyone has any. There was a company called Bentup that make like 4 bumpers but don't make them anymore. very clean lines.
