Probably going to need ot wait 4-6 weeks for one. ARB stuff is still catching up from Coronavirus backlogs and shipping issues.

I've hit seven deer. The longer I wait, the more likely my insurance will pay for a bumper.

Ever hit a deer with an ARB on a Cruiser? What speed? How do they hold up?

Apparently ARB bumpers repel deer before they get near the road. I hit them all with a spray of plastic bits and deer fur.

I dropped my insurance on the 100 when I put the bumper on it, that probably paid for the bumper. Hit a deer with the 80 and used the insurance money for the bumper, but I'm sure they got it back out of me with my premiums. Better to put it on proactively.

@Armed in Utah hit a deer at 60 with his Ironman full bumper on his GX460 and the only real damage was to the headlight where the deer hit it's head. The full wrap bumpers are the difference maker between a totaled truck and one that's repairable.

Not to continue the thread jacking, but there is a reason the Aussies all put on bumpers to save from roo strikes.

We ran those whistles back in the day (90's), didn't really see much of a difference but YMMV.

Eric, hats off! You build the best looking 200 series rigs I have seen! Hands down! Clean. Quality. Understated. Sophisticated. Excellent choices- you have an eye for detail... wish there were more people in "The Business" with your vision. Thank you for sharing your builds with all of us! BTW, what roof rack is on this Blizzard 200?

Eric,

Can you tell me more about these rims? Are those OEM painted black, or are those black OEM from another vehicle? They look like my 2018 LC wheels, which I'd like in black.

Thank you for your time,

Kevin

How was it fitting those 285/70/18s? I see you still have your front mudflaps on.

The biggest tire you can go without cutting. Sometimes, depending on angle and hardness of turn, I'll get a rub, but nothing awful. I truly love the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

Just a little trimming.
