Old thread...but I'll reply anyway.....got a TJM on my 2nd gen with a phew mods....100mm driving lights (recessed into bar), clear indicators, and some IPF Spotlights.

 

I have Manik in my 2005. Looks really cool.

 

All I know about my rig is that the Brush Gaurd is pretty much brand new, and the rear bumper only bent a little bit when some old granny rear ended me at 25 miles an hour. Her car however....that is a different story.

 

I had a Warn brushguard on my old '89 Runner, see pic.

But I am going with a ARB bumper on my '85 Runner this summer.

 

I've never hated a company as much as I hate ARB

 

why ?

 

X2???

send me a (wildly) screwed up bumper and then tell me I would have to pay to ship it back and pay a 25% restocking fee before they would send me a "correct" bumper

 

Who did you buy it from? I don't think ARB is a store, it's a line of products. I don't understand.

it doesn't matter who you buy it from it ships straight from ARB and its them that you have to deal with if you have a problem, they really pissed me off and they wont see another dime from me ever again. Also the only bumper from them you should buy is the prado bar because its solid, even though it doesn't fit worth a %^&%. The ARB taco bar has crush zones and they will crush pretty badly.

 

well i say go custom

dare to be different, lol

 

I am, I just built my rear bumper and Im starting on the front very early in the morning, my tubing bender came in tonight, I might have to put a bar like that there armorology bumpers got on it
