someone hit my wife's 04 in the parking lot and didn't leave any contact info, seems we'll have to use our own insurance to fix the bumper, fender and door. anybody know who has the lowest price on the ARB bumper?
Just search the internet; there have been guys that found them for as cheap as $800. But if you are filing it with your insurance then why do you need to find the cheapest price? Also, is the 4R lifted? You are going to definitely have to replace the springs on the front with some stiffer ones. It is not really just a straight up replacement bumper, it will look kinda goofy if the truck has no lift.
It might be worth looking into a TJM bumper, they are almost exactly the same as the ARB except with more options; I've always wanted one. I dunno how much they are for the 4runner but they were $600-800 for my '00 Z while the ARB was about $1200-1400 (depending on options).
I haven't seen anyone with a TJM on a 4th gen, but I have seen them on 3rd gens and the pictures on the website look great.
Yea they don't make them for the 4th gens; your only two options besides custom made are Shrockworks and ARB. If you are willing to wait for a Shrockworks I would wait but it sounds like that's not really an option
