watch for the 20% off sale they just had one a few weeks back.

My ARB-Taco version (not the bull bar one) was under $600 no shipping to a local store.

Painted? black or black powdercoating.

That's how I got mine, it was under 1000 with shipping and tax for the ARB bull-bar bumper and Warn 8K winch.

Just to make sure my research is correct, I will have to get the Deluxe Bull Bar that fits the 95-04 Tacomas right (ARB3423020)?

If I get the ARB I'll be sure to scrap out the parts from the stocker..

You want the Bull Bar Winch Mount Bumper - Part # ARB3423020 - I Just pulled that off my 4WheelParts invoice... I don't see how they think is comes unpainted... its defiantly powder coated- semigloss black.
The guys at 4WP are not always the sharpest tools in the shed...

well, i'll give them a call back then and see what they say. Cus if the one at 4WP is powder coated already then it will be cheaper to go through them. If not, it will be cheaper through quadratec.

Don't order from the enemy. They are not yota-friendly.

haha, I know but saving all the money I can is good... But looks like 4WP pulled through. I talked to the guy I had chat with yesterday and he said that he was sorry for the misunderstanding and that the bumpers are powder coated and painted black. PERFECT! Looks like I'll be ordering this next week $60 bucks shipping to my own door...

FYI, I ordered my Shrockworks bumper just before Christmas and got it in less than 2 months. Not sure if I just got lucky, or if they actually figured out their shipping and production issues. The thing looks awesome and I can't wait to install it.

I'm guessing cus they weren't getting enough interest in the US market over the period of time they were here. So they packed bags and went back home...

glad to help sir. I like helping folks get the best deal for their money. Hardest part was tying back to the thread.

I got a job yesterday-had been out of work for 6 weeks, so was in a particularly fine mood.

You should be able to still do better on the price, pretty sure I got mine for just under $600 but that was 3 years back now. The brain gets fuzzier the older I get , I'll dig for the receipt one of these days.

Note there was some minor frame prep work to make this Tacoma bumper bolt right up. So just an FYI-I left it to an expert-Irbis did my install. But read up some other threads to be sure you are fully aware of all the details. Not that difficult from what I had read and this is a common product cross-application.

Good luck!

Just made the payment for the bumper from 4wheelparts. Those guys are great. Since they are running a store wide sale up to 10% the bumper was 5% this weekend but I was able to talk him into 10% off as well as $60 shipping to my door. Total price with shipping was $750 even. Not too shabby ayy...

got a winch.. it's a Warn mx8000 D1. Dunno anything about it and tried looking it up but there is no info on it. Got it from a good buddy of mine who has had it garage kept for dunno how long now, $100. It's decent and missing a few parts. I dunno if I want to keep it or just save the $100 and put it towards a new warn m8000 or a smittybuilt XRC8
