Unfortunately, they will not be available for a few months
in my opinion, These are not only the ugliest bumpers I've ever seen, they also look like they weigh 400 pounds.

Blake you can see the 2 lower bolt holes, there are also to on the side just like on your tjm but there are no front bolt holes like the 4 we have so total Austin has 8 bolts.

Fab the T-17 with a local shop. Easier said that done but you will get exactly what you want. As said before; too bad Armorology does not ship, everyone would have one.

As for Irbis, he makes solid products.

Irbis looks interesting but I don't think it will look good on your truck. I like the Hanson a lot more than the TJM. It has a better aproach angle and I think the headlight protection argument is moot. Branches normally won't destroy your headlights. If you hit something hard enough and high enough that you think your headlights need protection you need to consider an exocage. My 2 cents. BTW - what does the Hanson cost and where are the specs. Also, don't put blinkers into your bumper. You can drill small holes in your corner lights and reroute the wiring and lights there. Much cleaner.

I would say go with the TJM. But the only problem is that there are no more in the USA. I called the distributor in Tenn. and he said that it would take about 2 months before they got the next shipment in, that was almost 4 months ago, and they still have not arrived.

Well I guess that helps narrow my options unless I'm wanting to wait forever.

oh, and are you sure you dont want the ARB, i have it and it is one of the sexiest bumpers i have seen... with your flares it should match up perfectly with the sides of the bumper... they look even better on black trucks

Kyle why the hell weren't you in Tellico? Blake I think the ARB is badass but eh Bentup could be modded thought you have to like the nakedness look.

Hardrock as in the Moto/ Mtb track off of 25a in Ocala area? Not in my truck but back when you could ride mtb there yeah. Why can you wheel there? I move to Miramar (just above Miami) about a month ago. Planning on heading out to Utah but now I cant find the thread on Expodition portal some time in Nov.

That ARB does look real good on your 4runner I may have to do some reconsidering.

dont jump the gun just yet Anthony, do some deciding, check out bigwap's bumper when he post it, do some drawings, and have it custom made if you can, i think you will be much more happy.

i plan to do some drawings for mine real soon.
