Gen 1 ARB bumper

Howdy from Colorado.

I am a landcruiser guy, and needed a pickup.

2 things planned. Tuffy Center console and Winch front bumper

adding a Arb bumper from a Tacoma (2005-2011) arb part 3423030.

Lines up nicely. Frame width mounts are very close.

pics when I figure it out.

 

I like the look. The other ARB bumper that's available for our first Gen looks cartoonish. So that Tacoma bumper looks nice on your Tundra.

 

Are you going to do the rear bumper too? It always bugs me when I see a nice looking reinforced front bumper (like yours) and a stock rear bumper. Yeah, purely an aesthetic thing on my part.

 

Very cool. I also like this type of look much more than the one that ARB sells that is supposed to be for the 1G Tundra.

How's the clearance for the front grille look when opening the hood?

Keep us posted.

 

Welcome to the forum! Don't forget to drop some non-construction pics over here!: https://www.tundras.com/threads/lets-see-your-first-gen-photo-thread.21/

 

Hood opens fine. I picked up the other oem grill style and plan to add the Toyota logo from an FJ60 Landcruiser to it to drive the purist crazy.

 

Looks like the tuffy box will fit as well. Removed both arm rests and used the mounts from the oem console. Cutting the plastic cup holder shortly…

 

Hey @acole77 - any updates on the bumper and/or center console?

 

following this…. Hahaha. Everyone who says they have done it or “explains” how they did it… doesn’t actually give anything helpful.

 

did you ever install the fj60 logo ? Id love to see the results. Id also be curious to hear how the bumper has held up over the past year of the install? Any issues? Anything to be aware of?

 

OP may not respond. Check out this thread for an active, ongoing install https://www.tundras.com/threads/tacoed-tundra-project.130491/page-12#post-3799567
This member also installed the LC100 snorkel you asked about in the other thread.
