2018 LC ARB or Offroad Animal (1 Viewer)

[jriv727]

Hello,

I have a 2018 LC and am in the market for a bumper, I'm thinking ARB summit (full loop) or Offroad animal Toro bull bar (full loop). any advice would be greatly appreciated. I also want to see complaints about the 2 as well. I'm looking for a bar that will not take away features of the vehicle such as front camera or radar. both bars seem to have relocation solutions. also don't like the fact that with ARB you have to cut the bumper. I should mention that I am planning on installing a winch later on as well. Gonna get the warn Zeon 12s or platinum version (still haven't decided but this topic isn't about that). tryna make sure the winches fit to. anyways thanks in advance for feedback.

did Offroad animal finally bring the Toro to the US... They told me they would but I gave up after a year or so..

On the Toro, you can install the winch without removing the Bull bar as well, big plug if you are doing it later.
Both are used widely in Australia, but the ARM can come from the dealer if that means anything to you. It also is compliant with Australian crash test standards (nothing to do here in the US, since we don't care enough to require certification of 99% of off-road Accessories)

ARB you have to cut, but that has pluses and minuses, Plus, the Bar bar will move around relative to the body, they all do and since the body is connected to the Frame and the Bull bar to the Frame that is expected. So the cut allows it to move and not hit the fenders if the gap is really close.

The converse is true for the full replacement, you need to have enough of a gap between the body and bar...

How much of thing is it? Depends on what you.

Both take animal strikes (Roos in australia) and will fend off trees from hitting your headlights.
Both are good but different.

Yes that one. Not trying to sound arrogant or anything but I'm not to concerned about price. Just want something good with good quality. Yes I have stock suspension but plans to upgrade to old man emu heavy duty in the near future

According to there website yes they have . I priced everything out and it's even no tax and free shipping. But arb is the same. Maybe it's just because of where I live

That link you provided is for the AUS site in AUS dollars. So...fortunately, it's even LESS in USD ($2,500), but certainly not free shipping.

Well at least it did for me. Like I said I guess it depends on where you live. I confirmed with ORA

Ehhhhhhhh. It says that, but there's also this, which is typical. Mine said $0 as well. No chance. Granted...I don't WANT that to be wrong, so if you get it and it's, indeed, free...let us know!
