I saw this dude on Instagram with the one of the coolest front bumper on the market, unfortunately its only for the 2014's and up, i thought I'd share with the community for more options

Slick!

I like that it's there without visually overpowering the front end. Nitpicky, but some of us will be using our rigs as DD's, too.

Even if I end up with Shrockworks, I still wonder if I'll bother with the hoops...
 
hes a super nice guy, i personally think the bumper is horrid as it doesnt flow at all - but it gets the job done

Seconded. It looks mean as hell, but I don't like how the filler plates under the headlights and grill look.
 
Proline Front Bumber

Does anyone have experience ordering or working with Proline? I just got an email response from a guy named Fernando. I was trying to see if they have any incentive like a 10% discount or free shipping if I bought their front bumper that is listed on their website for $1,599. I am trying to decide between the Proline which I really like vs the ARB summit bar for $1,835 and told them if they could offer me an incentive to go with them I would pick. Instead this guy Fernando replies to me and says yeah he can pricematch and honor the price of $1,835. I was like WTF why would I pay MORE to match the price that ARB sells for? If that's how they do business I ain't buying from them just wanted to get another opinion before I write them off.
 
They have a long way to go with the development of their products here in the states and specifically on the 5th gen 4R. Although they are competitively priced, they are overweight and hardly qualify as high-clearance.

I dealt with them a year ago when inquiring about a set of sliders. I paid my $700 for a set that was aesthetically pleasing but offered as much protection as paper shoes. They hugged the vehicle too tightly and any hard impact would shove the slider directly into the body of the truck.

Ask me how I learned that one...

Their correspondence is for nil as well as any etiquette is basically nonexistent.

Like [MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION] said, different strokes for different folks.

I suppose that is simply how the scene goes down in Miami.

If someone sent me an email that said - "your competitor is 20% more expensive than your product and I'm having a hard time choosing between them. Can you work with me on the price?" I'd probably say the same thing.

Then again if I wanted $1599 for my bumper I'd price it at $1599. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

(I wouldn't put it on my 4runner if it were free)

THANK YOU! whut the fuq is with this entitled generation?
 
i got my proline bumper recently. took nearly 2 months. Which still ain't bad.

I have the R1 with guard. Sent me the wrong cover plate and is working on getting me a new one.

They don't offer free shipping. They had a memorial day sale. I was hoping they could give me a partial refund being that they took twice the amount of time then stated. No cigar. Moved on with that. Just waiting on my replacement cover to come.

Note the weights of these bumpers are OFF on their website. I noticed some or a lot of their listings stating these as 200+ lbs. The r1 with guard showed up as 130 lbs later on.. Feels lighter? I had a harder time picking up a white knuckle slider for my ram rebel, then i did this bumper.

FYI after seeing the ARB, i would chose ARB over the proline. But my proline was days away from shipping when i first noticed the ARB.
