Just wanted to post an update for those of you waiting for ARB to come out with a Bull Bar for the 4th gen 4Runners. I emailed them today and they said they are working on it but to not expect anything until January. Guess you all will be seeing my T&H Grill Guard for sale in the classifieds in January.

 

That's pretty good news. Last time I mailed them they couldn't give any dates on bumpers, suspension or front locker.

 

I do hope that it's January as I've been getting the run around for awhile. Unfortunately the Prado bumper didn't fit as the mounts didn't matched when they did a test fit so it went back to get redesigned. It's supposedly in it's final process but I haven't heard the official news on the status. Hopefully January is the production date but I will hold my reserves as I've been told otherwise.

Seahawk1, if you plan to get a front bumper, ya better get a better front suspension as the additional weight will kill that front lift height. Michael (ahriman) lost approx 1" from his custom bumper. I lost about 1.25" from the front w/ the addition of my bumper and winch combo. But Since you have xreas I guess it'll be abit harder for ya to find stuff Hopefully by then there will be other alternatives for all of ya xreas'ers.

 

sweet, i can't wait for the ARB bull bar!! it's about damn time!!

(there are already solutions and "alternatives" for the xreas issue)

 

hey tracy, I am aware of the relocs but that really won't work much. You'll need more lift up front (not the rear) and unfortunately adding more spacers will just make the ride way too stiff after attempting to regain the lost height due to the front bumper.

the only alternative is to get longer shocks and coils but unfortunately i don't see any mfg even touching xreas. Ofcourse unless NE is making something, then that's a different story. so spill the beans on this "alternatives" since I've done my homework and have found nothing on the xreas "alternatives"

 

Yes, we are working on making something, in conjunction with a major partner company, to solve the issue and make XREAS workable with longer shocks and coils. That's all I can say about it at this time.

 

well indeed that sounds very good

hopefully you'll be able to give some of the inside scoop here so we can all check out the progress!

 

sure thing, Lance. just don't want to jump the gun on it quite yet.

i hope your trip was fun!!

 

I'm sure the other xreas members will be drooling on this new product so teasers here and there would be for a great advertising

Moab was a blast aside from a few hiccups. It was a wheelers paradise!

 

Is your new avatar from Moab?? Is ahriman still trapped out there?

I'm glad you guys had such a blast ... can we expect to see pictures anytime soon???

If you are in contact with ARB, be sure to let them know how excited we all are for those bull bars to come out!!!!

 

that avatar is from Moab. Just one of the downhill obstacle. It was a no biggie obstacle but was a great moment for photos

Michael is still out there and it looks like he'll be there until thursday

Well the ball is on ARB so hopefully they'll buzz me when it becomes available. I'm patiently waiting for them to buzz me so I'll be letting everyone when it happens (just like I did w/ the rear locker.. blah blah blah.)

 

Any news from ARB?
