HD Front Bumpers for a Tacoma
« on: Sep 26, 2004, 09:07:08 AM »
Attn Tacoma owners are any of you running an ARB bull bar or a TJM bull bar?  If you are running either could you please tell me how they perform and if they are worth the money? If you have any other recommendation in front bumper selections feel free to share.

I've been looking too, if you get 4WD & sport utility mag then check out the "south of the border" series with the 2 Tacos. One of the trucks is Randy Eliiss' and I'm pretty sure that those bumpers are his designs.

You hit THREE deer? Were you aiming for them? Damn. You ever hear of that Buckstop bumper they designed to be able to hit like an elk and be fine? I don't know if they made them for anything other than a Dodge Ram though.

I agree :beerchug:  Their design only weighs in at around 80 lbs. unlike the bull bar over twice that amount and bent up's got all the goodies as well winch mount turn signals light mounts etc. I'm getting one for myself as a x-mas gift to myself. :eyebrow:

DO NOT BUY A TJM!!!!! they are junk, they're made with thin steel, mine SUCKED, it was lower on one side from the day i put it on, and it was the first thing i ever did to my truck, i hadnt even wheeled it yet so i know the frame was strait, i have 3 friends who have one as well and only 1 of them sits right.
