Anyone got the new TJM front bumper?

That’s what I want to know...

 

TJM? What's that?

 

Light weight bumper. I believe from the LR world. Btw don't they also get a lot of DOT approval?

 

Are you looking for a stock bumper or after market?
I replaced my '18 bumpers with ARBs and have magnetic gray stock ones to unload.

 

Yes approved by Australia’s DOT / NHSTA equivelant.

 

Do a search. I remember seeing a thread about it a few weeks ago and I think at least one person has it on already.

 

Interested also. I have their rear bumper and I'm a fan. Not super heavy duty, also not super heavy.

 

Is it still pretty tough? I don’t need a cannon proof bumper, just something that can take the occasional encounter with a rock etc. Do you have a pic?

 

There’s another thread on it with lots of pictures.

 

That's nice. I put ARB summit bumpers on both ends and a front winch. I wish it could have clevis hooks mounted to it [other than the 2" square hitch], just in case.

 

Just installed. So far love the look and lines. Not the best pics but here are a few. Hiding a Smittybilt X2O behind the plate.

 

Nice. Any chance of a shot of the whole truck from the side?

Does it have any provisions for mounting hoop for hood / grille protection?

 

Sure - hopefully this is what you’re looking for - I’m far from a photographer!

Nothing delivered. I drilled holes for the lights, but not sure there is much room for grille or headlight protection to be mounted.

Personally I liked the “near stock” look but better clearance. Likely 285s going on when these wear out (in a couple years!).

 

Yea it doesn’t look like there’s enough room. Looks way better than the ARB bumper though.

How’s the build quality?

 

Blasphemy!

 

Seems great - powder coating is good, and I don't see any defects at all. It isn't super thick steel, but then again it will more than meet my needs, and i'm not concerned about denting it bumping a rock or two.

I chose it largely due to looks, and the fact that the owner of the local Toyota 4x4 shop has it installed on his personal truck, which spoke volumes to me given he's an ARB distributor as well.

The ARB is thicker, heavier and more imposing, so if that's what you're looking for, it may be a better alternative, but I'm super satisfied with the TJM.

 

Did you have to do anything to your suspension for the ARB summit bumper?

 

Where are guys getting this model? I have hit up the company direct and one of their vendors, no responses regarding availability etc.

 

I purchased it at Slee Off-Road here in Golden CO.

 

I like how everything look except the trim pieces to cover the cutout around the fender flare area.
