2. ARB has one
Is the ARB bumper Steel, or Alluminum??? I am hoping steel so I can weld stuff onto it as needed.... Not holding my breath.......
Steel.
How is the ride height? Did installing the ARB Bull Bar drop the front end at all?
Do you expect the addition of a winch to drop the front end enough to warrant installing stiffer springs (i.e. 886's)?
From reading your other posts you have the OME 885 springs installed on the front. I installed an ARB + Warn M8000 on stock suspension and it dropped the front end (which I expected). I have a set of 886's on order to compensate for the ARB + Winch.

Hope you're getting the new 886's 
I am sticking with the (realtively) proven 885's for now.
When you figure the Prado weighs about 200# more than the FJC, the reality matches the math.
Bumper and winch (steel cable) drops stock suspension about 1/2", barely budges the OME 885's.

I believe they are the new ones that are currently on their way over via boat from AU. I'll make sure to ask. Thanks!
My FJ is more than an inch lower with the ARB bumper + Warn M8000 winch (synthetic cable). I was originally considering the 885's. However, the ARB folks in WA said that they are recommending 886's for those people that have bull bars with a winch. I just don't want the front to be to stiff/harsh.

You'll be the first to know. 
What type of fog lights fit into the pre-existing holes in the blinker area of the bumper?? Just installed dad's and gonna get the lights next. Thanks.
