I just saw in the 4Wheel Adventures mag (4Wheel Parts), the ARB is on sale for $599. It didn't specify which models so I was thinking maybe it's that price for any model.

Nice find with the Sliders though. Those are by far the least expensive I have come across.
Awesome price on the sliders just with they had Kick Outs

Wow alotta replies, Thanks for all the support guys !
I only got a few replies at first so i thought this thread was just gonna die off, thats why i havent checked it in a few weeks. Well I dont have any pics of the bumper yet since im still deployed. You can see finished models of it on shrockworks web site. Here's a few pics of the truck as it sits now;





The tires are pretty worn out now, so i'll be buying another set of the Dick Cepek MT's. Aznwolf118 I don't have to order sliders since I already have a set of Stubbs on my truck line-x'd and welded to the frame. I like what you did with your bumper with the "brush guard" look, but I still kinda like "just the center hoop" better, looks more raw to me, none the less your idea still turned out great.
Also, Rocket you have a PM.

I'll be sure to post up updated pics when i get back to states with the new add-ons. .

I just ordered a shrockworks this week. They let me pay half now and I have to pay the rest when it ships. 8-10 weeks is the turn around time but I'm not gonna hold em to that

To be honest with you man...I would just paint it! I had my tube bumpers bed lined and scratched it out crawlin, and it just peeled off! It may work since yours is not tube, but I will never bed line anything but a bed (well maybe rockers)...lol

Food for thought your rig wouldn't be a import if not for them!

You may want to revise all of these statements... just a thought...

Mine came a lot sooner than I expected as well. Sounds like Jim and the crew at Shrockworks have gotten things sorted out. Good on them!

Awesome product, you're going to love it!

Finally got My Shrockworks bumper in! Pics!

Finally got it in. Took about 3.5 months but the craftsmanship is amazing. I took it and got it Line-X'd then mounted to the truck. Un-related but i did pick up a new friend for the 4runner 2 weeks ago. Something about a 427 makes you smile lol.

Looks like your 4runner barely makes it into the garage. Nice rig.

My bumper just arrived yesterday. It only took 2 1/2 months, but I didn't have them powdercoat it. I'm planning on priming and rattle canning it (Graphite) to match my rear bumper and sliders this week. That linex looks really good.
