A. R. B. Front bumper brackets???

Just picked up this beauty tonight. Those that have installed these. Did they come with brackets, or do you remove bumper skin and pretty much bolt up to existing holes? This one didn't come with brackets just bumper.

 

They definitely use special ARB brackets to mount up. ARB should have their installation instructions downloadable from their site.

You're missing the turn indicators (obviously) and the polymer bumpers that mount at the uprights, too.

 

Yeah I'm good with that for what I gave compared to new. Assuming I can get in touch with ARB or dealer and get a bracket kit or whatever other things missing I decide to add back on.

 

OK4wd up in NJ may be able to help you out with getting the ARB stuff you are missing. They are pretty connected with the overseas brands.

 

That appears to be a bullbar for a Gen 2.0 Tacoma (2005-2011). The Gen 2.5 trucks have different indicators (with fog lights) and stick out farther on the truck -- more "bowed" when viewed from above.

Here's a Gen 2.0 bullbar from the ARB USA site:


ARB in WA will be able to set you up fershure, through OK4WD or any other dealer. (I've done business with Wil at Sierra Expeditions in Mesa AZ, but there are dealers all over)

 

If you only got the bumper as pictured, you are missing ALL of the things.

I will be interested to know what the end cost to get it all is.

As pictured above you need the plastic black pieces(just for looks)

Fog and indicator light insert (that model may just be turn indicators)

The white part with round holes, on the under side (radiator protection)

The support mount that actually mount the bumper to the truck.



Looks great when you get it installed though

 

Yeah just seen a video on YouTube of the LARGE mounting bracket that bolts to truck... lol. Hopefully cost isn't too bad. My luck I'll pay more for everything than if I'd just shelled out the money for new... lol

 

Those mounting brackets are part of the energy-absorbing structures that make the bullbar airbag compliant. Yeah, they're big. There's a ton of fasteners of one type or another, too, to mount the bullbar and splash plate, plus the winch controller and license plate.

 

I hope you paid less than $3-400 for what you got?

 

It’ll be worth it!

 

Are those amber lights in your bullbar, PugetSoundTaco? Are they the original lights? That's not a trivial thing to change, if so, and I'm interested in how you did it if so.

 

@4xdog 2.0 gen have an option for fog lights too, not just the 2.5 gen. And you can get retro fog lights also to take take place of the factory arb lights.

 

Wyckedan why that price range? Have you knowledge of cost of what I need?

 

Call ARB USA and tell them you need the fit kit. It’s not that complicated.

 

Thanks KILLINTIME. the post was asking if others have put these on, and if there were other brackets! I've since found the answer. Thanks for your time.

 

No problem good luck

 

If you need any help because the arb instructions are pretty crappy. There’s some good videos on YouTube that will walk you through the install.

 

I've known some Gen 2.0 folks who have mounted the fog+turn lights in their bullbars, but I thought they did it by getting the later kit and doing some cutting on theirs. Don't think I knew it was an ARB option for the 2.0 bar. Thx --

 

Yeah I’ve had two 2nd gen 2.0 and i installed arb bumpers on them both. The bumper with the fog light is called the arb deluxe.

 

ARB use the term "deluxe bar" for a *lot* of their offerings, I believe, not just the ones with fog light/indicator cutouts. If my memory's not wrong "deluxe" refers to the upright frame design, which isn't present on the cheaper "commercial" bars they make (or at least used to years ago.)

They now have "Summit" bars, "Sahara" bars and a variety of other styles as aesthetics and vehicles have evolved.
