Same here I have the 99-02 Tacoma ARB on my Runner and there are 2 pre-drilled holes on top of the bumper. There are 2 more mounts on the back of the bar in the center part which I did not use for anything yet.

That looks awesome man! Where did you get that mesh filler? I've been wanting to do a mesh grill on mine but i'm not too crazy about the rain gutter wire idea, although it might come down to it.

What I found was aluminum stucco lathing at a local hardware store. I don't like the galvanized rain gutter mesh either.

I still have 14" from top of rim to fender. But I need to drive it for a week or so and check again.

itll take a couple of months for the coils to sag a bit, but it wont be too much with the PP coils.

You should use the same stuff to cover up the signal/hazard lights. That's what I did on mine after cracking several lenses.

I installed the Hellas but still need to wire them up.
That ARB looks smokin dude and the lights look killer! I can't wait to get me one of those big ole ROO killers on my rig to go with my Hella 500s.

I know a great place for a Hella 500 install write-up.

These bumpers really change the way the Runner looks. You better know you'll like it before you commit to the Mod.

Looks great! Now you need new tires to match the aggressive look of your ARB.
