Nice setup! Any particular reason you chose TJM over ARB? Looks great with the LED lights recessed into the bumbler. I'm trying to decide on which bumper to get and lighting system. Was thinking ARB Sahara with chrome hoop but would paint match powder coat the bumper and hoop. Install the winch control box inside the engine bay so I can install a led light bar in that spot. Just my idea and not sure it's the best one yet.

Thanks!

I went with the TJM, because it doesn't protrude as far forward as the ARB. If you are looking straight at the front of the ARB, it looks great, but it just seemed to me to be disproportionally large in a side profile view.

Also, I'd be weary of going with the Sahara bar. The chrome loop is basically just for looks, and does not offer near the kind of protection the the ARB deluxe gives you. I lurk in the Australian 200 webpages, and the Sahara is greatly frowned upon.

I also went with the TJM because it does not require you to sacrifice your OE bumper. The TJM comes with it's own trim prices. You will have to have them painted to match though.

Put the 200 to work yesterday picking up my new project. Quite the contrast between a 2013 200 series and a 65 Stout.

Funny thing, the Tundra in the picture is the descendant of the Stout. Both are K chassis vehicles...

I agree, the reason I was considering the Sahara, is because the ARB bull bar looks like a bad face mask from the side. You're right, it sticks out really far and makes parking more difficult. Looking forward to seeing photos of your rig when it's completed and a couple install shots if you don't mind. I was under the impression TJM left the US market. I guess that's not the case and will seriously give it a serious consideration. How is the build quality vs the ARB as I'm not very familiar with the brand.

Summit Racing now carries TJM.

Build quality is very nice. I could not imagine the ARB being noticeably better. I have an ARB rear, and say that they are comparable in quality and construction.

we were discussing that as we were picking them up. Crazy to think one led to the other.

 

[bjowett]

Funnier yet, the front half of the current K is based on the current J chassis.

Video please. I'd like to see how violent the landing was. Getting in the air is easy, it's the landing that can hurt.

 

[Desert Nomad]

Time for a getaway, got in the cruiser and left the city behind us.

Driving around a (paved) mountain road at my wife's parent's place.

 

[Rigger]

Why the Glock?

 

[r3run33]

it looked like a REAL BAD neighborhood!! Maybe carjackers? Just kidding please no angry hate mail Hey Jun did post a video but I can not save it to post here I will try to link it. The video is not as crazy as those pics. Japan has a similar Lexus event like Toyota has in the middle east but Japan one is at Suzuka with snow. They take people driving around in the snow. I will try to get my kids to be tech support and help me with the video

Kalispell is a beautiful place.

I lost my virginity on top of a mountain overlooking Whitefish Lake.
