Thank you for the pictures and write up, I def have to buy an ARB with OME Suspension parts with my tax return.

Did you have to splice any wires for the lights or where they plug-n-play?

The ARB bumper install kit comes with Scotch blocks to install the turn signal/parking lights. They allow the ARB turn signals to be wired into the stock wiring without harming the stock wiring.

The IPF lights come with a wiring harness, relay, fuses, switch, etc... You will need some understanding of electrical diagrams to hook them up.

hahhaha, well, um, NO!

I have had the truck since April last year, 26,000 miles on it now. I have been wheeling it open/open since I got it... Will be great to have a rear locker this weekend at Jamboree

ARB bumper update....



I have RUB. At Jamboree this weekend I could feel the tires as they were stuffed in the fenders and cut up by the ARB. I am running 285/75/16s. I am going to cut 2 inches off of the ARB for clearance.

tacoma arb bumper

Hi, I saw your post from a while back with the ARB bumper install. thanks a lot for the great pix. I have the exact same truck.. i assume yours is the four cylinder.. Are you still happy with your bumper and did you feel that it had any negative effects on the trucks performance as far as handling, mileage, etc.. also have you ever heard of these bumpers causing injury due to their bulkiness and obvious unyielding nature as compared to the stock bumper which basically does nothing but transfer the impact to the frame?
your input is greatly appreciated.. thanks a lot

I dont think the op has been active on this board in forever.
I think he is on TTORA and I also believe he has sold the truck..
