Hey bud thanks so much for the kind words!!

I do not have a photo, however, you have either the T-13 to choose from or the T-17...They run $589.60 for the 13 and $376.00 for the 17

Mike

 

Actually for you my friend, the only aluminum one they have is the T13 and it requires the grill from a 1996-1998 4Runner

Let me know if you still would like to pursue that. Otherwise you have the T15 steel or the T17 steel.

Mike

 

Hey Ryan, alright here are your prices:

1) Golden Retreiver: Do you want a puppy or one that already has some training? You are looking at about $700
2) Fishing boat: I can get you a nice Nitro for about $35K
3) Riding Lawmower with 20" spinners and Vortex Blower: About $4200, we should have a NOS kit and an intercooled turbo soon, you may want to wait
4) Nike Air Force Ones, actually my neighbor has these and is not really big...I think I can take him, you just pay shipping

Let me know, and I love you too :pat:

Mike

 

Ok now that I have sucked all the bandwidth up, one more reply

For those of you interested in the stauns, go ahead and shoot me a call, 602.763.2960 I will take your order and once all are received I will get them send out to you.

For those of you interested in the bumpers, please send an e mail to sales@xtremeoff-road.com with your zip code, I will forward it to TJM for a freight quote. Once I receive the quote I will let you know and you can decide what you would like to do.

Sound fair?

I will have the Hella pricing tomorrow for all of you!

Mike

 

Where's the best place to find good pictures of these front bumpers? In addition, any reason why everyone chose the TJM's over ARB's? Just windering since I haven't looked at either before.

Chris

P.S. I might be interested in a front ARB locker for '97 if the price is right, Mike.

 

Damned post padder!

 

TJM's and ARB's website?
http://www.tjmbullbars.com/
http://www.arb.com.au/

Hit google with "tjm bumpers" (or "arb bumpers") and you get a long list of people talking about them, some dealers showing them, and a good number of pictures posed and ad-hoc.


I don't think that there's a large sway one way or the other. From what I've seen, it's about 50/50 with strong opinions on both sides. The arguments seem to be the same either way, folks siting strength, durability, price, ease of install, customer support, add-on products (light bars, which adapters, etc) as being selling points for either.

In the end, pick what looks good to you, what you can afford and what you'll find here on the forum once the search indicies are rebuilt.

 

grill for a 96-98 4runner....i just happen to have a brand new unpainted grill for a 96-98 4runner (still in orig bag) if you end up buying the bumper that needs this. let me know, maybe we can work something out.

Thanks Scott,

I'm going to have to think about this one. I didn't want anything as large as the T13.

What is the difference in the grills ???

 

You know I have been waiting for this opportunity, i am glad that TJM group buy is finally happening (kind of ) But I am wondering if any 1st Genners like myself have had a T-13 Front Bumper??? I am thinking that would be the best choice for me.

 

Thanks midiwall!

Chris

 

Aww c'mon, we're old friends Chris.. Call me Mark.

 

I'm in for a set (4) of D'flaters too please, hope I'm not too late to get in on the deal. I didn't notice a post with the process but I'm hoping a later post will make it all clear.

 

Whoops , gotta read all the posts before I speak next time. Mike, I'll give you a call tommorrow!

 

Sorry Mark! Did you change your screen name on here? I'm sorry man!

Chris

 

StoryR

If you can find any pics of a TJM on a 1st gen let me know. I really would like to get my hands on that T13 as well, but I would like to see how it blends in w/ the truck. Tube bumpers are okay but they look a little to "farm truck" for me. Even though i only plan on bouncing the thing off rocks I would still like to have it look somewhat nice when she's clean.

 

Trust me stump, I agree, I have a tube rear bumper. But a tubular front bumper I dislike. I would like more people to get in on the group buy, because I would love to pick up a T13 for a decent price. Especially since my front bumper is already beat up.

 

All you had to do was look in the "customers rides" on Mike's site...

 

That's an ARB, not a TJM...

 

I was thinking that looked more like an arb than a tjm but I also have yet to see a pic or the t-13 so i figured the middle bars were the only difference... My bad!
