Wow, they have a sweet rear bumper too. Only 750 if you dont get the tire carrier. . . Hopefully someone will run into the back of me so I can justify one of those

I really like the design and looks of it, but $825 seems kinda steep.
for a hardcore bumper ? not really when the TJM is about $700 and Oleg does great work.

Hrm... I was under the impression that the ARB and TJM bumpers were much less.... I guess it is a fairly decent price.

X2, that guy does top of the line work, and he's a damn riot. Funny, awesome, very knowlegeable. Plus, fab work sucks. Its hard, hot, tiring, loud, and it takes forever. That is cheap for custom stuff.

tjm 17 is 425 or 450, tjm15 however is 675 which is what I have. i still prefer mine over this one by far

nice bumper though

gotta see it flat black and on the runner soon, keep us updated

Yeah, if you have a winch you have to remove the grill. I am not really a big fan of that. I would rather have a T15...

if you ever build a bumper, you will understand why 825 is cheap!

my rear bumper, if i had paid full labor charges on the total work, wouldve been well over 1000, easy.

no kidding. i have ~$500 in the materials and consumables for my rear bumper along with approx 40-hours of labor. typical fabrication like that usually costs about $50/hr, so you can see what it would have cost to pay someone to do it...

Absolutely awesome looking light intergration! One question though, assuming somone is backing up and taps your bumper, won't the first thing they tap be your amber Hellas? Sorry, as a city person I think of these things

By the look of it, the frontmost tube on the bumper is about 2-3" farther out than the amber hellas.

but the majority of cars on the road have bumpers that would go right under that tube

Exactly. A taller truck/van would hit that tube, but pretty much everything else would go right under it.

That 4Runner is stock height. The top of the hood on most cars here are at least to the top of the bumper on my 4Runner. Perhaps a miata or something could hit it, but I don't think a regular sedan would be under that height.

I'd be careful with the amber Hellas... wrong move while wheeling or somebody backing up into you on the parking lot - they seem to be very unprotected.

I like TJM. =)
