ARB Taco Bullbar install

Snaped a couple quick shots of my new install!! PIAA 525 Dual-beam Aux lights mounted (better pics will follow)

This is a ARB bullbar for a Tacoma, smaller then the Padro bullbar, fits closer to the front of the truck and its a few inches narrower>

Very nice! Love the blacked out look. The bullbar makes your 4runner look bad ass.

What rims are those? They look familiar.

Very nice looking!!

You're right about the Prado Sahara sticking out (that is the only thing I'm not crazy about) but your Taco Bullbar really fits nice and close to the body...

Looks great !!

What kind of modifications did you need to do for mounting purposes?

These wheels are the 16x8 American Racing Ventura's, just had them Powercoated flat black.

It bolts right in, Just have to remove the Frame horns, grind the flange of the horns flush with the frame rails, bolts into stock tow hook locations, and just have to drill two 1/2" holes thru the bottom of rails for a pair of bolts! All work took me 1.5hr by myself, just need a hand slide'n the new bumper into place.

Yo Sonny, Sounds like a plan!! No the grill is still painted body colour, just some bad pics, its hard taking pics in the fog!! As for rear bumpers, I can always order matterial thru work, and cut it up, just don't have a portable welder!!

Snaped these after some of the fog cleared>


PIAA 525 Daul-Beam lights>


A shot of how close the bumper sits to the body>
