Will the ARB bumper fit in the back (cargo area with seats down)?

[scshack]

I recently ordered an ARB bumper (ARB 3423020) and it was shipped via Saia, on a pallet. I plan on going to pick it up today in my 3rd gen 4runner. My question is, will the thing fit in the back with the seats down outside of its packaging?

I imagine if I unbox the bumper and put the actual bumper in the back (with the seats down) and the other parts strapped to the roof rack (or front seat), it should fit. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I do, and actually currently have one in the back of my 4runner that I just got out of my storage unit. It is still wrapped in the heavy plastic shipping stuff.
The bumper will fit with the back seat down. I have the bumper with its ass end at the driver side and the other end up toward the pass side. The box of mounting parts etc, will fit also inside the truck. its not that big maybe 3 foot by 2 foot by 1 foot. Sitting on top of bumper.. I only had a short distance to go, so I was prepared to strap the tailgate down, but did not need to , it all fit and tailgate closed fine.

When I originally got mine...The box I mention is the only box mine had. The rest plastic wrapped and strapped to a pallet, which I took off so I could haul it, at that time in a pick up.

for fun...one of my grandkids saw it in the back of my 4runner.....and he jokingly said...who pissed you off this time....and what you doing with the body ?

Nice [MENTION=124615]3bears[/MENTION], thanks for this info! I guess I'll have a new bumper at home later today then.

Cheers!

Just made it back from the shipping pick up and yes, it does fit in the back with the seats down. I hope this helps any future ARB bumper owners.
