TJM returns to America: possible group buy

The TJM bumper seems to be a bit of a legend with the 3ed gen, but unfortunetly, it got pulled from the north american market, from sonoransteel.com
"TJM has withdrawn from the North American Market. The products are currently not available in the US."

Over the last few weeks i have been bumper shopping, and decided to go to the TJM site and try to call and european dealer or something only to find out that TJM has returned to North America!!! Demon 4x4 in Miami,Florida is an official distributer listed on the TJM website. http://www.tjm.com.au/Default.aspx?t...ageContentID=9

I spoke to a guy at demon 4x4 on the phone and he is going to get me current pricing and shoot me an email, i will be sure to update the thread when i find out. I think if there are quite a few guys interested, we should try to organize a group buy and save a few bucks each.

Hopefully this is good news coming from Damon 4x4...not "Demon" 4x4.

The TJM was always a bargain compared to the ARB, its what made me buy one for my 00. I would love to put one on my 02 so I hope the prices are still reasonable. I believe mine was about $400 new, IIRC.

Yes, please update us, will save them a few calls!

The TJM 17 is the only bumper that really fits a limited 3rd gen

If you go for it, and the price is reasonable, I might get one right away too. Maybe we can share shipping.

Beg to differ on that one. Shrockworks bumpers also fit the 4runners with the limited fender flares.


Good to hear that TJM is back.

talked to the guy on the phone today, he will give me a price tomorrow once he figures out what it is going to cost him to ship them from australia! I mentioned a group buy of 5 to 10 bull bars and he seemed to get excited and promised a very good price! anyone have time to organize it? this would be the way to go if a few guys are into it! i guess we will get the pricing and see if the interest is there...

$400 was a good price, I paid $720 for a T15 about 2 years ago, plus $130 shipping.

I think there would be a lot of interest. I think a group buy for the 3rd gen t17 and t15 bumpers should be in order.

Really?




The ABR for the Tacoma fits fine




and the ARB Prado is wider if you really need it. But hey to each their own I had the T17 and sold it for a heck of a deal on the ARB.

I'm pretty sure I made a post like this like 3 days ago but for the life of me I cannot find it. I think it got pulled for some reason. Well anyways, I'm subscribed. Keep us updated, cus I'm interested.
