Yeah, I was just thinking how big the lights were until I saw the pics of both rigs side by side!!!
WOW!
Guys those rigs are just downright awesome! Something about seeing 2 hardcore 4runners side by side that's just so nice!

...Did you do any extra triming on the end rails to make it fit so well??? I've seen pictures of a few others on Runners and they still had a big gap between the back edge of the bumper and the body even with the trim. Not from Body Lifts but because the bumper sits too far away from the body.

It was asked already but did the bumper come painted? Also what made you decide on the Sahara bumper compared to the other ARB in the pic? I've got an 2001 SE runner and i am deciding on which ARB to get. What are your plans for the stock bumper? How much is do you think I could sell an 01 stock bumper with the fog light included? I dont think I will need the lights after the upgrade.
Man those IPF's are enormous!!!!!

Do the fogs that go into the ARB connect to the existing wiring harness toyota has there for stock fogs?
Damn- the matching color looks sweet and I think the crome bar looks good with the fog lights. What's the weight on that bad boy?

I was looking towards a TJM b/c it's a straight bolt-on. I always thought the ARB's required modification of the frame ?
Also--what is that trim piece you used to fill the space betwen the top of the ARB and the grill/body of the 4Runner? ( e.g., to fill the gap that's seen on the other ARB/4Runner).

The othe 4Runner is mine and it has a 2 inch body lift that the red one does not have. The red ARB does have a little plastic piece that snaps onto the top of the ARB with grommets but it has to be trimmed as it is made to fit onto a Prado.

Andrew,
Looks great! WOW! I'm still gonna get those brackets from you. I just haven't had time to get by because I've been working so much. Congrats again on the new look. Later.
