removed the cheap, would work when it wanted, Jensen flipout DVD/CD/Radio and replaced it with a Pioneer I had laying around. I can't believe somebody thought it was a good idea to install this, it didn't even open all the way because it hit the cupholder.

installed my ARB front bumper, i know i know you all want pics, well guess what its dark out and it was dark after i finished installing the lights so no pics. but i will say that installation was super easy and is doable with just one person, as i did it by myself with no help or lifts ect. and it weighs less than my factory bumper +brush guard that i took off, so the only added weight will be when i put a winch in it(hopefully soon).

how is that even possible
 
today

Got home from work to find that the guy in the big brown truck dropped off my rigid dually lights, then, scanned craigslist, and scored me a 4x5 con fer rack for the runner for 100 smackers. Pics to come.

I'm pretty sure I quoted you about this topic before. I posted a thread about my ARB/Winch. The ARB barely weighs a hundred pounds. A factory bumper has some weight and so does a brush guard made from, I believe, mostly 1/4" steel and a bit of 5/16". I'd agree with The Kid.

yeup, according to my unscientific fact finding research, the ARB weights between 75 - 78 lbs and the factory unit i took off was tipping the scale at right around 90. and yes i removed my lights off the brush guard for this research.

(all research was done with me on a scale holding the bumpers then subtracting my weight, very very scientific and zero chance of inaccuracy)

just to make sure we have right truck, you have a 97 4runner which has has the simpler bumper which is just a piece of thin 18 gauge steel with some plastic. last time i picked mine up it weights around 15lbs max. so ur saying the brush guard weights 65lbs, you sir either have a super beefy brush guard or you put on some serious muscle mass during the lifting of your arb bumper lol
