That's not his truck.
Closer pics would help, but first impressions are that i'm not very impressed. Looks like it's going to fit about the same as the 4th Gen bumpers. The 4th Gen bumpers are very blocky and don't fit the contours of the truck very well.
More pictures might reveal otherwise

That's not "HER" truck and before you guys all jump in and get your panties in a wod….this picture was sent to me by someone at ARB, it's the only one I received and that's all the information that I have at this time.

That is the ugliest 5th gen bumper I have seen so far. ARB might get points for durability and usability but they fail on aesthetics. :barf:

They cut it right across the line that runs under the Toyota emblem, leaving the plastic trim underneath the headlights.

Man...I am really disappointed.
I was hoping with the 5th gens being more blocky and 3rd gen / old LCish they would have a sweet flat, bumper mimicking the old style.
-1 that will be buying ARB

I emailed ARB yesterday and got a quick response. The person I talked to said they had a prototype front bumper that they were trying out & he told me they would most likely update their catalog to include 2010 4R within the next 30 days or so. Which includes the Old Man Emu suspension.. I had an ARB front bumper on my FJ and it did not have that V shape to it. Demello's front bumper is looking a lot better to me, design wise. Maybe ARB will change it if it is just a prototype. I was a big fan of the Old Man Emu suspension though, I had it on my FJ and it was a great ride on and off road..

I stopped by ARB today. Saw a few more pictures of it and did find out from them that the suspension on that TE is the OME suspension lift for the LC Prado 150. They are going to be measuring some specifics on the suspension system before going forward with it for the 4Runner.
I like the bullbar and from the pictures I saw it looked very nice. ARB said that it was a bit of a challenge to come up with something for the 4Runner due to the design of the existing bumper and other components packed away pack there.
They measured the ride height of my TE with 5k miles on it, the TE pictured had the bullbar and winch (Warn 9.5XP IIRC) installed at 1,500 miles and the ride height with stock suspension was the same as mine at 5k. Pretty much surmised that the suspension's settled approximately 10mm.
