Beautiful!! It is perfect. It totally balances out that truck. That is one of the better looking 4runners I have seen.
Good job

at last another 5 speeder out there!

Good looking bumper, not sure I am liking that green grille work but it is unique. Do your rear spoiler in green and make it a match....

The black out wheel trim looks nice around the wheelwells. Guessing you are de-chroming?

Now we need to find someone to make clear lenses for the ARB bumper's turn signal- that would really look sharp with your clear corners.

Has anyone tried lexan, plexiglass or that clear diffuser stuff for florescent lights? with a little heat you could shape these a bit too.

Doesn't the ARB bumpers utilize the stock turn signals from the truck anyways? Shouldn't any aftermarket clear for the same model fit then?

good guess the less chrome there is the better, that would be cool if they made clear corners for the ARB, but oh well cant win em all

I'm sure with a little research you can find clear signal lenses for that ARB.

thanks Toyvana- I bet you are right -I was just thinking perhaps a bedroom night light (for example) would have a clear plastic piece that would fit an ARB turn signal cutout.

off to walmart and look at the cheap stuff.....just needs a bit of a recess-could probably drill our own screw holes...

sounds like a market for some entrepreneur-Burtman you out there?

I wouldn't go to all that trouble, Ron. I would just measure the signals you have now and find the aftermarket replacement on eBay. You can see the clear lenses in my avatar I bought off of eBay for $20.

your arb bumper looks a lot different than mine-I have never seen this fitment
but hope I am wrong toyvana. Mine is the Tacoma bumper. Maybe it is just the angle and my eyes - can I blow up enlarge your avatar to get a better lookie see?

can you link me up?

I think some people use "ebay" as a generic term-do you mean cruise the auctions constantly or use an ebay preferred store? I find the auction process a bit maddening for an occasional drop in.

If you could point me to a pair for around $20 that would be great and more than I could expect.

Here are some search results on the clear lenses:

Tacoma Clear Lenses



I think all of them are under $20.

Trevor,

i finally got the broken driver-side mounting bracket back from the welding shop(my instructor at school did it for me for free at his shop, hehe...), i put it on last night all by myself.

because i bought the bumper used, dirt cheap, no instructions what-so-ever. so i don't know if i did it right or not, it just doesn't line up with the fender.






i only have 2 bolts on the buttom of each frame, i think it needs more.

The holes in the mounting brackets where you attach the actual bumper are elongated so you can rotate and push up the bumper then tigthen.

Looking at the bottom picture you need to push up from the front to make the gap at the side of the headlight equal all the way front to back.

Ya, I'm Canadian - it's spelled cheque.
