Is ARB the only mfg making a front bumper for the FJC ? Anyone fabricating one ?

[Corey]

I like very much.
Now if it could have a hoop like my ARB for a CB antenna, that would be great, unless an antenna could be mounted to it some other way.

I prefere the antenna on the bumper instead of the fender mounts.

Thanks for your interest in our products. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I very much like the hoops. Now lets talk about the back bumper...

so I guess no brushguard for this All-pro? It'd be sweet if there was an option with/ w/o one

We will probably have an optional bolt-on hoop. I'm not sure at this point if it will look like a brush guard or like a pre-runner style hoop like on our Tacoma bumpers.

That wouldn't be a bad thing.

I'm a little concerned about the plastic parts that stick out enough to attract undo attention from rocks and trees and other off-road detrius...y'know, the front turn signals and the rear lights.

For where I go, I'm also thinking that I need a place to hook up a set of limb risers, too.

Little late posting over here....

And here are some pics of the bumper....

That looks pretty nice. A few more weeks and we will have all sorts of options. I can't wait to see that one in a flat black finish.

I know that most people don't like the look of the hummer brush guards (seen below) but I think a bumper like the All-Pro would look very sweet with a brush guard that wraps over the hood a little bit (not enough to impede opening the hood). Similar to this:

Will eliminating the grille in the factory front bumper cause cooling issues? These are nice designs , but I think that may be a problem. Looks like it is blocking 1/2 the radiator, and trans cooler (for auto equiped models).

[FusionCruiser]

Would the BentUp guys be able to mod a top bar like this reasonably easily? I would like it to be slanted towards the windshield at about 20deg with 3 light tabs.

Hmmm

Sorry for psp quality.. I'm in a bit of a rush.

i still like the all pro better than anything ive seen. its to hard to say yet which i will buy because all of the other bumpers that will be out within the next month or so. i cant wait!

[k_os]

FusionCruiser.. I think I'll be sold if they finish that... hot.. specially with 3 lights..

visibility though.. It's already hard enough to see outta that itty bitty windshield.

Our FJ Cruiser lift kit features our exclusive Walker-Evans coilovers adjusted to 2.75" of lift in the front (starting at $699/pr), matched with rear 1.25" lift coil spacers ($149/pr). The tires are 285/70R17 BFG M/Ts.

Other options include rear extended steel braided brake lines (DOT approved), and Walker-Evans rear shocks.

I thought I would try one with smaller 550 rectangular lights to see if it looked easier to live with as a DD. I liked it, so I thought I would see what they would look like on the roof if a low profile mount could be fab'd to mount to the front roof rack mounts.

I live in Vegas and I am interested in raising mine w/285/70/17 tires and include this awesome bumper. What are your plans for a rear bumper and brush guard for front bumper? And where can I purchase a lift?

[Corey]

I saw this Photoshopped pic over on fjcruisrfourms site.
Looks very nice in all black.

I would be adding Hella 500 driving lamps to it and a 4' Firestik II CB antenna, and it might be tricky adding both to this design unless it had a hoop on it like the ARB does so I can put the antenna on.



Found a better pic leaving the two holes on the bumper to let the hook and lever show up better.

In the last few days, I took the bumper off and primered it with some self-etching black primer.

I also coated the backside with a top coat of semi-gloss black, for addiitional temporary protection.

A winch window still needs to but cut an on top (it will be a large rectangular opening which will bolt back in place when not in use), and the soleniod control box permanently mounted behind the bumper...with the hand control plug relocated to the top of the bumper....so more welding will be neccesary, I just wanted to keep it from rusting for the next couple weeks.

Here are some pics from yesterday.

I like your direction. One thing I've noticed before, though is that the center "loop" looks like it's not quite centered. Is that a mounting thing, a prototype thing or just something as simple as a trick of the camera?

Also, is it possible to get one more little bar on top of the center loop - similar to the brush guard that Toyota is coming out with later this year?

Since you've (obviously) had the stock bumper off, do you know if there's a way to integrate driving lights into your bumper? Is there space to do so?

And, finally, a question that bugs me every time I look at it: Are those damned stock silver bumper endcaps removable? It may just be the former Hummer/Jeep owner in me, but I'd REALLY like to just remove those! It may mean exposing more of the front of the tires, but I don't think that's a bad look.

Thanks!
