Friggin rear bumper is MASSIVE! Looks good but HUGE! Will you be able to get more aggressive on the final product? That new URJ needs the help!

Christo,
BTW I spoke to ARB-USA today. The front bumper from them should be out by the end of June-July. Had ot make sure it still worked for the airbags and parking sensors, which is does . Rear bumper prototype just finished and should be around Aug. I will still take your rear bumper ANY DAY. Just let me know ![]() __________________ New 2008 LandCruiser 200 Series Grey Outside / Grey Leather Inside Mods.... None yet...looking for some

Outstanding! You sir, are a genius.
How do you cut the plastic trim without screwing it up? What do you use? Any repainting involved? |

U won't believe how much room u have when sitting in the drivers seat. Guys that are large and over 6'1" will love the foot room & driving position.

Yes. Very good work. Very nice looking. IF I had bought a 200 and wanted expo-travel or light wheeling that bumper would do wonderfully. The reason my post sounded the way it did? The type of wheeling I do. That 200 bumper is HUGE. For me, I'd need to do anything I could (if even possible) to get it down-sized like his 100 and 80 bumpers. The 200 DOES need the help. I begged Slee the same way when he began planning his 100 rear. I said AGRESSIVE AGGRESSIVE.....like the 80. He said, "ya but it has to look good too because of the truck's design". I said, I aggree BUT....AGGRESSIVE...AGGRESSIVE. We got a good looking aggressive bumper for the 100. That's why I asked about the 200's final disign. __________________ NEW!

second, are you implying that you had something to do with the development of the Slee 100 rear bumper? third, are you suggesting that you are making your backhanded comments about the 200 mods for the betterment of Slee's product development? |

Sleeoffroad...is there a lift on that truck posted above? What have you done to make it sit the way it is.
Also, what is the total weight of the sliders? Thanks in advance. __________________ '08 LC 200, Nitto Terra Grapplers, K&N filter, Rear Window Tint ,3M bra & third row delete '94 LC FZJ 80, Lockers, OME 3F/2R, 34" x 12.5" Trxus MT |

That's a bummer! Deja Vu. I waited a long time though I was glad I didn't bite on the TJM or Kaymar.

I'm with ya there. ARB is the "standard" for hot-shot front bumpers.
