So I want to upgrade the bumper of my 01 Limited with a bumper, but I want to retain the fog lamps. Has anyone done this before. Is there any already out there?

Pics would be great!

Here's an ARB w/ lights, not sure if they're fogs or small driving lights. Compliments of bamachem. If you do a search there's tons of info out there on aftermarket bumpers...

Thanks for the pic UNR.Grad
I searched but couln't find any specific for fog lights, I did find alot and browsed through alot before posting and I figured that people would have links faster than I could search all the threads I found.

The TJM T-15 has been known to be modified to fit fogs.
Move the turn signals outside a bit and squeeze in some fogs.

If you want a bumper that has cut-outs for fogs already, go w/ ARB. Their Sahara bumper is what is pictured on bamachem's 4Runner above. I don't believe your Toyota fogs will work w/ this bumper, so you'll need to purchase ARB fogs. However, ARB fogs are 55wt like your factory ones, so you can install them to be turned off/on w/ your existing fog light controls on your steering wheel column.

The only downside (unless you're like bamachem) is this bumper w/ fogs and painted to match, can be very expensive.

Otherwise, go w/ the TJM. Just cut out holes for your fog lights like BruceTS did and use whatever fog light you want to that fits. A much more cost effective way to go, but it's up to you what "look" you want. ARB or TJM?

Personally I like the look of the ARB w/ fogs over the TJM, but's that just me.

Will I ever be able to afford an ARB Sahara bumper...probably not, but that doesn't mean I won't try and save up for it!

bamachem's is super sweet but I'm on a budget.

BruceTS can you hook me up with a better/closer picture? Are those factory fog lights? Can it be done with factory fog lights?

On a side note doesw anyone know if bamachem's is painted or powdercoated?

i use to want the sahara bar, until i was quoted over 1100$ for it and i was like, what is this crap, i plan on running it into rocks/trees and small vehicles... plus i really wanted something to protect my headlights and to eventually add a front fender bar to, something you cant do with the sahara unless you have a welder... get the ARB Deluxe Bull bar and strap 3 sets of lights on it, protection and lighting, for less than 1100!!

Thanks for the compliments.

The bumper is an ARB Sahara for a Toyota Prado. It only comes in a dark grey powdercoat and will go for anywhere between $1150 and $1400 (with shipping) depending on who you order from. I painted mine Sunfire Red to match by sanding the powdercoat, priming, painting, then clearcoating before installing it.

The larger round lights on top are IPF 900 MSR Driving lights. They are usually about $300 or so for a pair. They are wired via a relay and an on/off switch to be triggered with the bright headlights. In essence, when I flip on the high beams, I have my headlamps, then 55W fogs and the 130W driving lights all on at the same time. Blinding only begins to describe it.

The smaller fogs are IPF 924's and are an available option for the Sahara Bar. I think they go for about $275 or so as an adder to the price of the bumper. If you don't get them, then it has some black plastic inserts to fill the holes. The bumper does come with the blinkers and the holes for the fogs. The fogs are wired to the factory connections.

It's also shown in that pic with a Warn M8000 and roller fairlead.

I installed larger fogs, but the factory ones can work as well.........
