Ya, I see that too. One of the differences I like on my TJM T13 is how the uprights are angled to follow the edges of the grill rather than cutting through its lines. Also opens up the center so lights and winch receiver (or control unit) are less cramped (T13 below)...

TJM also makes one for the 3016+ and it’s looks amazing. Follows the headlamp design really nicely. Getting them to ship one though? Good luck.

Ya due to lack of availability and support on TJM products in the US, I've not considered their front bumper even though I do like it (had a TJM front bumper on my 100 which I liked but it took a long time to get then I had some quality control issues). I have their snorkel however in my garage waiting for a free weekend!

Ya... A couple years ago they went through a manufacturing change because of issues. On the happy side, the 2008-2015 T13 has been more available if late, but when I talked to them a month or two ago in passing, they hadn’t imported the 2016+ yet. I’ve had nothing but great performance out of very “well tested” ( ) front bumper. Will look forward to seeing your snorkel...

I brought in a 2016+ over a year ago. I just told them what I wanted so it could go out on the next container and the wait was about 2 months. I just ordered some more things last month and it should probably be just another month to get those. I’m sure you know this, but for others, pretty much anything you want from TJM AU is available. You just have to wait a few months if not stocked in CA or at a local dealer.

Please stop taunting the lot of us who dream for a T13. I've been "on the list" at Slee for some time now and have heard nothing but crickets. That being said, if anyone has the hookup on one of these for a 2008, I'd be very interested in that information.

Might not be able to do this with that bumper:

Ya, that bumper is pretty dang tight!

But sometimes less lots of metal can create the illusion of terrible approach angles where maybe not so extreme after all.

Out of curiosity, I made a little overlay...lining up the key points (ignore tire size...just look at relationship between bumper and frame mounts etc since lift and tires will differ). Surprisingly close.

Would be interesting to do on stupid rear bumpers too...

I posted this info a few years back and its probably buried. The west coast TJM rep, Wes and his #888-909-4856.
do your self a favor and take charge, don't wait around on other people.

Yep. That’s how I initially got mine. TJM won’t sell it directly, but you can set it up with a vendor after you know it’s available.

Local Toyota dealership owner just got his ARB for his 2019 LC... Hadn’t seen the new version ARB in person yet.
*He color-matched to his grey Cruiser...

My LC has the new ARB and you were with it for several days in Moab and Telluride.

Heh... Ya, guess My pea-brain was elsewhere...



This next year, it would be cool to do a separate line-up photo of each of the many bumper types next to each other.

@Willy beamin , bumpstops, man...bumpstops....

Will be interesting to see how the 37s fit up front.

Didn’t MSCruiser end up eventually removing his 37’s despite his body lift?

I could be mistaken, but I thought he installed, removed, then reinstalled a slightly smaller 37” or maybe more narrow tire, but I thought he ran 37’s (whatever actual size they may have been) successfully in the end.

Ya, I wheeled behind him in his 37’s at one point, but someone mentioned to me recently that they thought he went back to 35’s.

But anyway... Not an easy fit.

@Willy beamin are you planning to actually cut up front?

If the bumpers were available we would have them. We buy just about all the 200 bumpers they bring in.
