Thanks for the growing list. I've been sending them to ARB but it would also help if you continually email them on a regular basis.

Please email Tim Lund directly @ [email protected]

He is awaiting your emails!

Latest info:

"As it stands right now, we have a prototype bar on a 4Runner and that's about it. I've heard nothing more on the 4Runner bumper front so I would say it is at the earliest 6 mos away. We would love to have it made, but we have heard no further information on this project."

The interesting thing is that they will have a bumper for the FJC before the 4runner. Not sure what the deal with that is considering only 40k will be made the first year and we have well over 200k on the road... dunno their logic but keep on emailing them regularly... Give them your 2 cents so they know.

Lets not forget that they already have an ARB bumper for the new pathfinder and the lr3.

Go get em!

At least their last response was personal:

Michael,

Thanks for your email.


Unfortunately at this time we do not yet have a bumper for the 2003+ 4Runners. We have built a prototype and have discussed bringing a bumper into production, but unfortunately that is as far as it has gone.



I will log your request into our request database which is used to help decide which products to produce in the future. The more requests we get for any one certain product, the better chance it has to be accepted.


Sorry for the somewhat "canned" response, but with the amount of requests for different new products we receive each day, we need to be able to reply to them and log them into our database in a timely fashion. All requests are taken seriously and I do read each one and log each one by hand.

I got the same response today. No, literally, the same 'canned' response. However, he did add a little something to the end:

"Ray,

The biggest issue with getting a 4Runner bar built for us is that the 4Runner is not available in Australia. All those other vehicles you list are, so it is easy for them to build a bumper for it. However I do feel we need to correct your email statement, bullbars are not made for the KIA, Rav4 or Hyundai, only chrome Nudge Bars and they are an entirely different product."

-Any body wanna send over there 4Runner?
- Maybe they'll spring for a rental if I send them mine.

Don't hold your breath! Their reply looks like they are not interested in 4Runner business. The 4Runner is into its 4th production year, you MIGHT see a bumper in the last year of production, so they can just make a bunch and move on, MAYBE!

Koz

There's no sarcasm emicon!

The sad part is I'm like 15 minutes from thier shop in Renton. They don't need a 4Runner, they've already built the prototype. From the lack of progress, I'm still not sure they think there's a market. The only way to change that is to keep pestering them. Two guys at my office have ARBs which KILLs me! One has a Xterra and the other a JEEP LIBERTY!

Amen to that MAC4Runner,
I felt the same way when i emailed ARB this yesterday. His response is above. I know they don't have Bull-Bars for the little imports, only safari bars, but I had show in some way how silly it is that we haven't seen anything yet.

"Hi Tim,
Any idea on who we can get in touch with to speed up the delivery for 2003+ 4Runner ARB Bull-bars?
They've got them for Hyundais, Kais and Suzukis, Rav4s, now the new LR3 (don't get me wrong, awesome off-road heritage) and the new Pathfinder, but no bloody 4Runner? geez-ah-loo! how'd that happen? Any info would be much appreciated. Don't get me wrong, this isn't hate male, there's a lot of love for your product, but me and my mates got rigs that are goin on 3 years old, and no ARB? seriously, we're getting laughed at by guys in Jeep Libertys. Jeep Libertys for Pete sake!"

As a plan B, I have sent an email to these guys to see if there 05 Taco bumper might be considered to fit 4Runner, but no word yet. I'm sure it would require mod. to fit Runner, but who knows, the president is a Toyota buff, so maybe he would entertain the idea of marketing a 4Runner version. Maybe some of you might want to drop them line.

It's not quite safari style, but it does look good and with major increase to approach angles. I bet you could mount the ARB bracket for CB antenna to it as well.

That looks good and I would buy it! Please inform us once you get a reply.

What would make an ARB better than the allprooffroad one? Anything?

It really is annoying that ARB has bumpers for those *other* trucks and not the legendary 4Runner.

I would buy the other one just in spite of ARB if it is the same quality.
