Damn Sam, I really like that bumper. Changed the whole look of your rig.

Frack me..
Looks great man. Glad you were able to find the time and some help to get it on there.

Yeah, Thanks Heavens for Todd! I knew I would have to cut it and re-weld it.. didn't realize it would off as much as it was & and the way it was.. the whole thing was kind of shifted one way. for those that don't know, I got a smokin deal on a "Scratch and dent" that didn't fit right.

Yeah, I am in love with the "BLACK" of it.. Guess I need an ARB for the front now to match it.. lol Craigslist, here I come.

Don't do ARB, do Relentless or whoever is making the one for 1st gen Tacomas and 3rd Gen 4Runners.
X2...not a fan of the ARB's

I don't like the looks of ARB front bumpers but they certainly have more testing and fit repeatability. How many of the other guys do destructive testing?

Don't like ARB huh? is your dislike more about looks and less about function

Sam that looks awesome!

Thanks!

awe man, hurting my feelings.. :( yeah, I like them. Matches the taco and if you are going to hit a deer (which I had, and will again).. I think it's the best thing out there. maybe not the best looking though, I love the Shrockworks 3rd gen bumper for looks.

So what was the reason for cutting up the bumper mounts? Was it in a wreck previously or something?

Sam you need a Shrockworks front for that thing. Hands down the best looking and most funtional combination. Plus its local... support your local economy. :)

They are EASILY the nicest.. but 900+ ? I know Jim, he is a nice guy.. but dang.. you and I both know it will take like 2months or more after paying for it to get it. That is just too damn long man. I could probably spend less than 2 months looking on CL and find an ARB for less than $500.00 which is the route I am leaning.

I asked Steve at CBI for any deals.. he had a bumper laying around another customer ordered that didn't fit. Steve said I would probably have to beat the hell out of it to get it on. It was a "Smokin" deal, so I jumped on. Luckily.. Todd was there to cut it and re-weld it. There is no way Beating it would get it on there.. it was shifted to one side pretty bad.
