They should have spent a little more time on it and made the bumper not look like crap.

I agree with scuba , not so sure I like the lines on that ARB bumper, but then again I am not sure I like the lines on the new 4runner to begin with.

I like the bumper for the most part.. But this part has to go.. Without it, it will look 200X better. And actually, when I zoomed in to paint it it looks like the part I circled may be bolt on. So it may actually be optional to the end user

They probably haven't put it into production or added it to their site yet. Have you tried calling them?

Demello will be putting that into production soon. It will be a bit different than the one above though. As far as the spot you circled, take a look at that spot on the demello bumper, you will notice that the windshield washer bottle is right there, you bump that with a rock and it will just rip right out, so i hope that demello comes out with something like the ARB to protect those areas... That or you will have to do something with that bottle, I know that FJ guys have something for that, but thats a whole different thread for a different time...

I totally agree, that doesn't look clean like the usual ARB design.
The little step down on the end of the bumper looks like crap.

Looks like the second one shown does not offer all the protection the ARB does. Looks like there's an Aluminum peice with lines going to it just front and inward of the passenger front tire. Is that important? Are you armoring to protect or for fashion?

Yeah, I know go back to the 1st Gen 4rnr/2nd gen truck section.
