I think that looks better on your truck than it does on the 10-13 Runners, at least based on the pics.
 
nice job!

guess i'm ignorant, but did you cut up an entire front bumper for the fill pieces below the headlights?

Yes a brand new bumper cover from a limited model. It's the only way to get a finished look. Approx $300.00 for cover. You refuse the TRD Pro TOYOTA piece and attach to the Limited Bumper fill in..hurrah!!!

Wow! Great job with this!

Will you be adding stiffer springs up front? What setup are you currently running? It looks like you might benefit from a firmer setup up front, but it might just be the photo angle.

Again, great job, and I like the creativity.

Yes, TRD Shocks and springs can't cope. We are installing Icon Coilovers up front with JBA UCAs , Allpro spindle gussets Timbren Bumps, and white line arm bushings. Rear will have progressive coils and stock Bilstein rear shock for now to see how they work. 4Runner is not complete as yet.

I can definitely see why. The nose sticks out far enough to begin with and then you add an ARB bumper to it and it's even worse.

The fit is amazing.. Bear in mind they crash test these bumpers and build crumpl zones in them. We may have to relocate the washer reservoir.

Looks like you're building a really serious machine. I'm looking forward to the future modifications and the progression of the build.

there is no reason for you to unless you remove the skid 'wings' from the sides. several members on here with the ARB's beat the shit out of them and no ill effect towards the reservoir/pumps.

No!!!! problems exist mounting the remote reservoir brackets for the shocks. The tank is in the way.

The ARB bumper always looks bigger in pictures than in person. But haters gonna hate I guess.
[MENTION=7442]milowilli[/MENTION] nice job on filling the slits. Are you going to colour match the donor bumper eventually or leave it black?
