I emailed ARB usa today regarding the winch bar and got the below reply.
"It's in the works. We should have production in about 2 months. If you want to be notified you should sign up on our website for our email newsletter."

I am VERY interested in seeing what it looks like considering the odd shape of the 5th Gen bumper. Regardless, you can probably sign me up for one! :bravo:

Sweeeeeeet. I wonder if it's going to need to have a bunch of plastic on it. I can only imagine how heavy that thing would be if you replaced the entire bumper with steel. Can't wait to see it.

It will be similar to the 200 series ARB bumper...classic ARB looks but it will need a few inches of the bumper skin to complete it. Typically what will need to happen is the bumper skin will be cut up, with about 15% re-used. The daytime driving lights, fog lights, along with the Trail Edition trimming and most of the bumper skin will all be for scrap.

Just speculation, but I don't think it will change much from previous bumpers. It may also be a bit wide at probably 12" in the middle, making your T4R longer.

Mark,

Do you have 295's on your rig? Did you post any recent pic with the new shoes? I would like to see how they look?

Thanks

yeah...I traded in my 275/70/17 BFGs for 295/70/17 Nitto Terra Graplers. Sorry, no pics yet. If it's a nice day I may spend some time with the camera tomorrow. I'll post it in a new thread to not hijack this one.
