    Looking for a fabrication shop to install a landcruiser ARB bumper on my tundra. The mounts need to be custom fabricated and altered to fit. Trying to keep the cost down on the install, because one shop I contacted said the install will be as expensive or more than the bumper.

    Hit up Jason and see if he'll take it on, he probably has a thousand recommendations myself included. @Speed Freek

    Turned out really good, but holy crap that was time consuming...I forgot to respond to the thread a while back.

    I made some super beefy custom mounts that turned out super good however it took 2 days to complete, however it will certainly be stronger than the factory mounts that it came with so that's good.

    Not sure I'd want to do it ever again but in the end it looks like it belongs on the truck as long as you take the time to triple check how it lines up and make absolutely sure that it is fitted properly front to back and side to side when tacking it in place before removal and finally burning it in..

    Amazing work and sometimes these one off projects are a pia. It looks good and you did an amazing job but you can see how it doesn't look like it belongs on the Tundra. It's extremely wide and heavy on the front end. If that's the look he's going for, then he accomplished it. I compared it to the original picture the OP posted. He should've sold that bumper and just bought one for his Tundra.

    How much did you charge him if you don't mind me asking?
