Can you please clarify this. Are you saying ARB engineers are working...on the bullbar?

How things can change in a day if so!

Yes, as I write this

The bumper is planned for production, but the answer I do not have is a release date. I will post it as soon as I know...

Yes - Good News.

According to the folks on T4R, ARB is doing the final fit on the bumper before it is fully in production. We are pretty close to having them!

I got this email 2minutes ago from ARB:

Alex,

The 4th gen 4Runner bar is under development, but it is still too early to be able to give any ETA on when it might be ready or what the part number will be.

The bar we are currently planning is the traditional bullbar with
bushguard.

Best Regards,

tlund@arbusa.com


Looks like they have planned only Deluxe version, no Sahara one.
Second thing in this email Tim said that ETA is unknown.

I don't have a 4th gen but my 01 is not much diff. Since you have some drive time on one with front and rear lockers would you do both to one that you owned?

So far the TRAC system in mine has done outstanding for me but I am at the point where a locker will get me into just a bit more trouble and I am all about that. Just not sure that a front would be nec. With the rear locker on does the TRAC still function for the front set of wheels?

THanks

Very cool side job you have there test driving 4x4 systems!!!!!!!!!

As far as I know, Jim said to me that ARB will start shipping at the end of August if everything will go as planned. Otherwise, the time frame is September/October.
