I have an 86 IFS 4runner and an ARB winch bumper, part 3414070. Does anyone have a write up and/or instructions on how to install this? Looking at it, the mounts to the underside of the frame dont align. TIA.
ARB winch bumper install help needed, got directions?

IIRC, you need to cut off the bumper mounts before the bumper will slide in.

Here are my pics. The Full set is ARB Install - a set on Flickr
Here is the bumper
Here is the bumper removed. Finger pointed shows two OEM bumper mounts. These prevent the ARB from being mounted. Even if I were to cut these, I am not sure they would be aligned. From the underside, it appears that the ARB wont line up with the frame rails though.
Update- I measured the the bumper mount and frame mount and they are the same width, so it appears they *may* line up.
ANy help is appreciated

yeah. i had the same question with mine on my 88 runner.
just knock off those two brackets you pointed to in the pic and it should line up perfectly. mine did at least
only thing that i wish i would have done was to put a washer in between the frame and the arb bull bar. mine was so snug that the arb bull bar actually just contacts the bottom surface of the front of the front fender.
a washer underneath the frame would space it down just about an 1/16th or 1/8th of an inch to avoid contact.
