I recently drove the Outback Japan 76 demo truck. Outback is the ARB/OME importer for Japan and they threw all of the ARB/OME parts on the new 76. It is running the stock wheels with 315s with a 2-inch lift. I was bracing for a stiff ride and while I didn't take it off road, it was very comfortable on road, maybe even smoother than the stock Toyota suspension (I drove a stock 76 before this for comparison.) I think the ride was helped by the fact that the aftermarket parts like the bumper, winch, drawers, helped weight down the truck a bit. Anyway, this changed my mental image of OME as I had always imagined OME to be really stiff/tough.
Question 1: does anyone know if the Toyota winch would work with an aftermarket bumper like a TJM or an ARB? The Toyota winch is pretty aggressively priced here in Japan (about equal to a mid-level Warn) so I'm considering it but would like to have the option of an aftermarket bumper if I wanted to do that in the future. No one here knows so I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried that.
Question 2: is there an easy way to relocate the driver's seat further back for a little more room? I'm 186cm and even with the seat all the way back, it's a bit tight for me at the knees.
