Just finished my bumper! Pretty happy with the results. Sorry for crappy cell phone photos.

I guess they've gone up cus I got my ARB from 4WP for $750 shipped. ARB is an awesome bumper. It is big but I think it fits well with the truck. ODL also has a very nice front bumper. If I didn't havean ARB I would have an ODL.

Depending what style you want for the front you obviously want some sort of matching style for the rear. So decide on front then move on to rear. A front plate and CBI's rear hybrid wouldn't look bad either. [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION] has that setup.

Looks like Amazon is offering brand new ARB's for 829.95 with FREE SHIPPING!

ARB 3423020 Winch Compatible Bull Bar : Amazon.com : Automotive

Damn good deal. Edit - I thought it was the deluxe bull bar as shown in the pic. That's still a decent price. You can find em for around $780 but it doesn't include shipping, so Amazon's price is pretty straight.

I was just reading the reviews and towards the bottom of the first review is this:

"I've already ran it into a couple things while parking (street sign, tree, fence) and it's none worse for the wear."

:lol:

Ship it to me and come pick it up!

you know hes not gonna steal it, he all ready has a bumper so thats a great deal!

heres the thing with ARB, yeah the prices have gone up, but they are trying to level out the playing field... too many people were selling them at way under MSRP, so what ARB did was tell eveyone to sell at the MSRP or higher, or lose your ability to be a dealer... most did just that, but some just undersold to make sales numbers thinking ARB would rather see sales numbers, even though they had been told other wise... welp ARB cut them off like a cancer. wholesalers got screwed and rightfully so. it was hurting good reputable companies and shops. wholesale cost on a ARB is around $750 for the tacoma bumper. i picked mine up for just over that and no shipping costs. the guy i bought mine from is my neighbor and his boss is the shop owner and gave me the deal because im in Search and Rescue.

sure some places will sell an ARB around $800 but they are gonna charge you like $200 in shipping -thats where they will make their profit margins. so if you can pick up an ARB from amazon for $830 with free shipping you better jump on that, i dont think your gonna find a better deal unless you buy directly from ARB and get a "scratch and dent". and last time i checked, they didnt have one, and hadnt had one for almost 6months. the guy said he had no clue when they would see another one, but told me he would take my name and number and call me when one came in... that was back in the end of nov, still havent heard from him. for $830 basically you are paying dealer price and then a discounted shipping rate on that as well.
