ARB bumper ends sticking out

I Just got finished cutting the top and bottom of the sides off. We pushed them in where they matched the fender flares and rewelded them. We also redrilled the holes and dropped it to where it would barely go under them. I was unaware that there were two different bumpers for 4runners and I was just wondering if im the only one. (should have made my own). Is it just me or do major companies piss everybody off. If its not too much trouble could a couple people post pics of runners with ARB bull bars.

Mine is the ARB Prado bar #3421010, there is one for the Tacoma too.

I like the fact that mine sticks out past the flares to protect the flares from rocks. I also left it down approx 1/2" because the frame flexes so much when the suspension is articulated. The bumper still moves enough to come into contact with the flares.

I had to "drop" mine an inch to get it where yours is at. It is also out an inch from the front. As opposed to where yours is under everything. I just think mine is a complete screw up and arb wouldn't do anything about it.

I also have the Prado bar and it sticks out past my SR5 flares. It doesn't bother me at all.

Edit-all of these pictures were before I put on a 1" bodylift. I like the way it fits with the bodylift better.
