Has anyone heard if ARB is the only manufacturer "currently" making front bumpers for the FJC? The bull bar looks pretty cool, but I'd like to see other options ?
I was informed today by my Toyota rep that the ARB bumper for the FJC will accept the following WARN Winches: M8000, XD9000, 9.5XP

I would personally like to have another 9.5 ti but it apparently won't fit the bumper.

Any info would be appreciated.
 
I also heard All Pro is developing one as we speak. I've heard it's gonna look qlong the lines of the Tacoma bumper wich I think it's totally kick ass I am waiting for this one.

edit: I may also add that they're working on a SAS kit. I can't wait

Did your source give any hint as to when the All Pro bumper might be available ? Thanks

He did not. I actually talked to one of the Sales rep or someone at all pro when I was asking about the SAS kit. I am assuming 2-3 months by the time the "Special Edition" FJ comes out if it ever does most manufacturers should have plenty of parts available.
 
From AllPro's site:
"All-Pro's New Toy! All-Pro goes back to its roots - the long awaited 2007 FJ Cruiser is here! Look for suspension and armor parts coming soon, including bumpers, rock guards, skid plates, and an IFS 3" Suspension lift kit followed by an SAS kit!

I couldn't be happier with my AllPro Tacoma bumper. The pic posted above was the prototype model - here's a pic of my Tacoma with the production model bumper:

I know BentUp is currently making a rear bumper (and already have sliders available), so they may design a front bumper next... ? I would guess within a few months there will be several different ones available (ARB, AllPro, Trail-Gear, BentUp(?), etc).

You could always get any metal fabrication shop to custom make you a bumper to fit your rig as well as any winch you might want to run.

This is an expensive way to go, but if you go in hand with pictures (they can reverse engineer it) or if you go with a design/blue print, you will get what you want.

Again, much more expensive then getting an off the shelf ARB/TJM etc.

can someone photochop an FJ into 05_tacos pic. It's exactly the same set up I am going for All pro bumber, MT/Rs and 3 inch lift.

btw where's that one pic with your fiancee, gf, wife in it?? lol jk jk I saw that a long time ago and it made the bumper look hella nicer all of sudden
 
Me likes - Hell, how much for the cardboard template ? I like that better than the bumper that came with the FJ.

I have Two Questions:

1.) Are your plans to offer it (both) with and without the pre-runner bar ?
2.) What is your "best estimate" on when you'll start taking orders and shipping ?

I'd like to put one on my lifted FJC.
Looks Awesome - Keep up the good work

You like the cardboard bumper? I'll sell it to you cheap!

We've finally just got signed up on this board. So, to answer you questions:

1.) We have considered adding the pre-runner style hoop. Maybe we could get some feedback on what people want and go from there.

2.) We will have the proto-type done tomorrow. Usually the initial production run takes about 6 weeks due having to develop the fixturing. We generally make 10 bumpers in the first run, so once we get the pricing info we'll start taking pre-orders for the first 10.

Thanks for your interest in our products. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
 
I have a few ?s for you.

1. Will your bumper be able to use the Warn XD 9000, or will it take a winch that has the solenoid built in like the i series?

2. Will a roller fairlead work too, or only the hawse type?

Thanks, and I am awaiting to see some complete pics of it painted mounted up to the FJ.

I do not think a vehicle in a long time has stired up so much talk and aftermarket stuff being designed so fast as much as this new Toyota.
 
Everyone has their own opinions, but since you mentioned it; I'd like to see a version without the pre-runner bar - but the possibility of adding one later - bolt on would work since there would (hopefully) never be SERIOUS stress on that part of your bumper. Accessories Man
