ARB mounting brackets

[ATCyotadude]

I desperately need some mounting brackets for an ARB bumper (1998-2004 Tacoma). Recently bought a used bumper and the brackets were not included. Having a hard time convincing the guy to send them or give me a partial refund. Considered buying new ones from ARB but they are $400 and this would ultimately cost me more that new bumper would have.

It will be very unlikely that you will find a set, they usually don't come up, if you were closer to me i'd make you a set, 400 dollars is ridiculous. i can't imagine it cost more than 200 if you find a local fab shop to make you one.

Would it be too much to ask you to mail me some rough measurements so I could make a set myself?

i can get you some measurements but it might be awhile, at some point here soon, im gonna have to pull my bumper back off to add a couple more mounting points to it, to make it more secure for winching. the reason the mounts cost so much is they have the crumple zones built into them. its not just a bolt to the frame via channel steel or box steel.... hence the reason the ARB bumper is considered "air bag compatible".... but i can get you the measurements and pics when i redo mine, although it might take a month or so for me to get around to it and find the time. -this is one reason i decided not to buy used.

That would be greatly appreciated. Ill let you know if I come up with the brackets somehow before then.
