Bumper Choosing
Well, I'm ordering a bumper very soon. But I'm stuck between 2 ARB models.
The ARB Sahara Bar: $1k+
-OR-
The hopefully less expensive, but still has the cool integrated fogs- ARB Deluxe Winch Bull Bar:
Any comments?!
Also, anybody know about the gap w/ a 2" BL? Will RB's brackets work on the ARB?

Just so you know on the sahara, that chrome bar? its pretty wimpy... the damn thing is just bolted on just like any grille guard... yes it has pretty lights, but I would go for the beefy bull bar...
IMHO the sahara bar is a mall crawler bumper.
Dont flame me that's just my opinion... I almost got it till i looked at one close up.

I just went the TJM route
From their site. If you really like the Sahara, check out the guy that is parting out Fear's Truck. He has one with damage, but the replacement parts is less than $200 and his price is less than $500. I personally like the look of the TJM the best, the ARB Bull Bar is a close second, with the Sahara 3rd.

I'm still up in the air. If the second one is available and cheaper, I'm all for it! Mike seems to think that the second isn't available in the US. So we'll see on that.

Well.. I dont like the TJM (edit: as much), so thats out.. it also isn't air-bag safe ( a BIG MINUS )
If fear's old Sahara is somewhat salvageable I'll likely go that route. But I would prefer something shiny and new

CRAP! That bumper IS NOT available. GRRR!!!
Looks like I'll be saving my pennies and getting the Sahara?
I dunno..I just want something different, not the run of the mill black 4runner with tech ones and a bull bar. (no flames, please).
Ugh..I'm confused again.

Now that I'm pretty sure I'm talking to myself. I'm proud to say I just ordered the Sahara Bar from Mike!
I can't wait, but I'm sure it'll be over a month.
I'll post back for sure!
