ARB or TJM Front Bumper
I am thinking about purchasing a replacement front bumber for my 1997 4Runner. I've looked at ARB and TJM's web sites but neither mentions the 4Runner specifically. My goal is to replace my damaged bumper/valance and gain protection from critters such as deer. I need something that fits without modification. I mainly drive on road so keeping it light is important. The TJM T3 looks good to me.
How about some opinions? Thanks! Janis

Hey it is Andrew. I've got an ARB Prado Winch bar on mine with a Warn Winch installed. No pics avail at this time. But, if you are headed down to Huntington sometime, you can drop me a line to meet up.
How did the mechanic referral go. Any problems??

Andrew,
I've been procrastinating about getting in touch with the mechanic; I 'll get busy and give him a call. I did go to the web site you suggested and checked out the prices for parts.
Thanks again, Janis

I have a TJM-17 and like it a lot. The install was very straight forward outside of it being heavy. Get a buddy to help and it's no sweat.
One downside (and this is an issue with ARB as well) is that the sides/end points of the bumper aren't directly supported. The bumper is plenty stiff to be able to support it's own weight (and then some) but if you jump on or run up a tree with the endpoints, then you may tweak it.
I've never had it happen, but "it's possible" with a LOT of force.

(looks like the site's having issues)
I bought it as part of a package deal with my suspension parts, so I'm not sure what Mike charged me for the bumper.

well i really like these ones, if you could find one for a little less than msrp definitely a good choice
i think they make them for the older 4runners too
