I've got one question about the TJM bumper. I know the ARB has provisions for attaching shackles, does the TJM have anything like this? I don't want to have to rely on the flimsy tie downs to pull from. NOw i have a very solid piece os steel between the rail with 2 hook bolted and welded to it. I will get pics of it. I'm sure i will loose it with a TJM. SO where to i hook to in the future?

I thought the TJM was a "bolt on" job, no welding involved? if I missed something in a prior post above forgive me but that looks to be more trouble than the install for the t15 or t17 would actually be.
Steves was an older style, you will not have the same issue he had

ARB

That bumper up there is the Sahara bumper, and its available for 4runners...


I wanted it till i saw the price, its 2 times as much as the Bull bar bumper... (1000 as opposed to 500)

That sounds about right...
If it comes custom painted and has intagrated driving/fog lights... Not exactly, but i'm sure a ton of planning and design work went into that bar. Its ARB's top model. The one for the LX470 uses the same blinkers as the stock... Kinda cool. Not something I'm willing to pay for, but kinda neat.

I used to really like the Saharas. That is until I saw some side shots of them. They really stick out like a sore thumb and eat up approach angle. Here's the rest of the pictures:

The TJM's fit like a glove. Very nice and tight without the added weight.

talk to mom and dad about it. I'm sure they'll let you slide a payment or two. I borrowed cash from my parents for my first house and they let me slide a couple months if there was something I really wanted, I finished paying them off a long time ago though.

I can't resist a deal

Alright, this is killing me. I told myself I was going to stop spending money and start saving for a house. Now what am I supposed to do? I just spent $1,100 in repairs for my Honda this week. And now this comes up!

Here are my reasons for indecision ...if anyone cares to help steer me in the right direction.

1) I can't decide if I would want hoops or no hoops. T15 or T17
Price tells me I don't want hoops, but they look so damn rugged.

2) I have a 1" body lift. I won't upgrade to a TJM unless I can get a good fit. Is this possible?

3) I have the stock hella driving lights. I'd hate to lose a place to mount them. Can I wire offroad lights to take their place and use the existing factory wiring/switch/relays?

If I can resolve these doubts I have then, you've got yourself another sale Mike.

Any more details? It would be fairly simple (at least it is at first thought), to change the wiring so the corner lights became the turn signals... just have to make sure they worked with the parking lights too, but anyways...

What Hellas fit there, the 550s?
