Yes, I'm quite happy with it.
Pros: I really like how it looks and everything it holds on the configuration I have now. Having all the accessories be modular/remove when not needed is great (might go back to just the tire in a few weeks). Customer service was excellent – I had the locking brackets switched around on install. When I parked on an incline, they flew open and broke the brackets. C4 had replacements sent out that day and arrived the next day. It's solid, can't see it failing me anytime soon.
Neutral: Being so solid, it's heavy, so best have some heavy springs to hold all the weight with the accessories/tire/etc. It comes bare steel, which was a hassle getting someone to powder coat/delivery/etc. but I powder coated black and fine texture to match the ARB summit front bumper. Lead time was almost 3 months, but it was right in the middle of their warehouse move which added a few more weeks (I wasn't ready to install anyways).
Cons: It took awhile to get used to the dual-swing arms – it certainly increases the time it takes to get into the back, which I'm using all the time to get a large dog in and out. The locking mechanism gets jammed/stuck sometimes, so takes a little longer sometimes to secure it down.

More pics?
Hi guys, if you get a chance, please post more pics. About to get mine installed on a white SR5 - wondering if I should have the piece under the taillight powder coated in white or black to match the bumper. Thanks in advance.

Plenty on IG. I think that filler piece would look good white and the rest of the bumper black. Would make it look a little more streamline IMO

Thanks for starting this thread! I am waiting on my bumper to ship as well.
[MENTION=225490]billiamwu[/MENTION] --Were you able to fit all the parts in the back of the 4runner?
I am thinking of how to bring it back home from the powder coating company.

I had a friend that was getting the same bumper powder coated at the same time, so they strapped it down to a trailer.
We weren't sure if it was going to fit in the 4Runner - I took out the seats and folded everything down, but the bumper is so heavy I wasn't sure how we would actually get it in and out.

Thanks for posting that. Ive been looking at the exact bumper and was curious if it cleared the Gobi ladder or if I had to take the ladder off.

No problem! There is plenty of room for the Gobi ladder, it clears the ladder easily.

There are a few in the thread that I did a short review.

Sure do! Here you go: ARB Summit Bumper. Between the ARB and the C4 bumper, the 4Runner sticks out quite a bit now!

Nice, thanks!
I love the look of the ARB. Do you think a 30in light bar would fit on it? Just curious because I just put a 30in behind the grill.

It might fit - here's a few pics of where I have the Baja lights. There's pre-drilled holes, but not sure if whatever bracket you used would fit (I drilled new ones out for these lights).
I have a C4 Fab rear on my white t4r, only thing that might not work for you is that my rear bumper is painted white. let me know if you would still like photos and I can probably get some this weekend.

Looks there should be enough room to squeeze it in there one way or another.
