Tjm
I'm recently in the process of getting a new front bumper, ive looked at arb, but im liking the TJM T15 better, i found one for about 720$ is that a good price? Seems pretty steep, but im not sure, im new to this.

its $640.25 at 4x4connection... $75 for shipping.
I assumed you are looking for a 3rd gen.

I know it's better protection than a grille gaurd, but if one were to get into a major front end wreck, are the air bags still going to deploy, could there be a problem there? Other than that...i cant wait to get it on.

the labels on the TJM say that they have not been tested with airbags. i guess they dont want to waste a perfectly good truck and its just cheaper to put labels on their product to save their liability. i would think the airbag sensors and actuators monitor the velocity change and sudden impact for an airbag to deploy... so i wouldnt second guess as to why it would or wouldn't work. maybe someone else has actual knowledge about how airbags deploy...

The price Amir posted is very good, as good as you will probably find.

One plus to the TJM over the arb is its lighter... when you add a winch, lights, supercharger, rock lights... it starts to add up and if you hang around here... believe me... it will.

For all you that have 3rd gen 4runner with the tjm-t-15 bumper. If you all had aux. fog lights in your stock bumper what did u do with them once you installed the tjm bumper... sorry for such a weird question ha. I just dont know what to do with the lights?

The air bag sensors on our vehicles aren't in the front bumper, there's some sort of pressure switch (I think it might be mercury-filled) that should be unaffected by a change in the bumper. I've got fog lights installed on the top of my TJM.
