lucky SOB...

I found an ARB on Craigslist locally a few months back for $200 in fantastic shape. I set up a time and place to meet the guy, and never heard from him again. 
Nice score!

That's why I hate craigslist. Even when you setup a time and place, they're not always there. I went to buy a brush guard and some other parts from some guy. Drove all the way there in about 30 to 40 minutes and haven't heard anything since. Waste of my time.

Sweet score, man I looked forever before dropping the coin on a new one.
The installation of these things can be a bit difficult. For your year pickup, it is easier than my '89 4Runner. (1st gen 4Runner body style).
ARB's instructions are crap, total crap. I have a thread on here for when I installed mine. The big difference is "wing brackets" that are used on your bumper, but not on mine. There should be two tall, thin blades on the inside of the bumper, left and right of the center box section. For your year you will use those blades to bolt the bumper on. For my year they are useless and interfere with the body mounts.
I put a Warn M8000 in mine. You have to mount the winch into the bumper before putting the bumper on the rig. That makes for a very heavy bumper to install. Two people for sure, three is better.
Congrats!!
