4x4 Labs Front/Rear Bumper set ups (1 Viewer)

[ICY80]

I Looked and didn’t find a thread for 80s with Luke’s front/rear bumpers. Just bought a rear from him but can’t decide if I want to run his front or an arb. Anybody mind posting their rigs with 4x4 labs front or rear bumpers?

His website has pics or goggle 4x4labs 80 series front bumber, and click images.
Depends on your taste but 4x4labs front bumpers for the win.

I have a labs front and rear, for looks I like Slee's front better, I think he has the best looking front bumpers for an 80. I just went 4x4 for the clearance.
If you go with the labs bumper, weld it yourself if can weld. Mine was not symmetrical when put together and created a few issues for me.

Here's a couple of my front 4x4labs. It has extra light mount tabs added.

I'm an ARB fan but this is pretty solid and better approach angle

I am in the process of adding a shelf for my new LP9s. I wanted the lights to sit behind the bar for additional protection. I also relocated my winch controller to the area where the anti lock brake system used to reside. I also had to notch the bottom plate for my new power steering cooler and had a new skid designed and bent to protect the cooler since it hangs sown about 1/2" below the bumper. Just got it back from Send Cut Send.

ARB front
4x4 Labs rear

I know the ARB is not the strongest but I love the additional protection of the lights and grill. I love the 4x4Labs bumper for being so simple and robust but I wish it had a better latching mechanism.

Can't really go wrong with them. Got rear from CruiserTech, but not impressed with their welding/fab. Built my front in house.

Off top pic but who made the ditch light brackets?

Also….. opinions on the high stinger variant of Luke’s bumper? I kinda dig it even though I probably won’t be running big lights upfront. Here’s a pic from Instagram of @formidable_land_cruiser ‘s rig. Big fan. Check his set up out. Thinking about going with the high stinger .

Just thrown it out there. Mine is Avid offroad.

But you can't go wrong with 4x4Labs

Yodateq - same co who made the tailgate latch mounts too. A-pillars are a bitch to run wiring through, but I have bright fronts, ditch lights, and KC Cyclones below as puddle lights which turn on when I unlock the car (aftermarket keyless entry) which has been awesome.

Theres a trade off between high clearence and coverage, for me its moot to have such high clearence when you have things hanging down explosed right behind it. (e.g. The obvious AC Dryer)

I was torn between Slee, 4x4Labs and ARB. I went with the ARB but seeing the Slee in person its a bit better quality overall, if I had to do it again I would get the Slee for slightly more coverage over the 4x4labs.

Agreed, once I have mine back together again, it is off to an AC shop to re-route the AC lines to get the dryer up and out of the way.

I’m running front and Rear. Can’t beat them, best bumpers hands down.

4x4 Labs Bumper Saves My 80

Toyota ran the red light and caught the back left corner my 80. Driver was shaken up but okay.
