Check it out, looks pretty nice. Not enough for me to trade in the ARB but nice non the less. I like the shrocks increased approach angle and the added recovery points over my ARBs.

Talk about Mad Max... :ar15: :D

It looks very stout. It also looks like he pushed the side edges out a bit to be more flush with the fender flares, a nice improvement over the 4Runner bumper which didn't flow as well. The skidplates are awesome.

That is very nice, flows with the body lines a little better than the ARB.

hey... nice. I'm usually not a fan of armor style bumpers, but I really like that.

Guys I've seen one of Jim's handywork up close. They are VERY well built!

I like this one better - the Nissan version has the main tube leaning back. I like the forward one shown here better.

I wonder if it will make a difference to the cooling system? The ARB and factory bumpers appear to let a lot more air in.

It's pretty darn flush on mine..

The prototype on the website didn't look as flush as yours. Looks great. :)

looks real nice. it addresses the two downsides of the arb design...youve got plenty of clearance to the tire and a good approach angle. i still cant believe how much metal i cut off my arb!

You the man Jim. :bowdown:

What size tire is it propped up on in the last pic? 37s?

Yes, I was checking tire clearances and this is the only rim we had laying around that would clear.

Welcome to the forum Jim :friday:

Looks beautiful.

Any intentions on fabbing one up for previous generation tacos? :D

Yes, once this is done the plan is to move on the the older taco/4runners and the Tundra, etc.
