"Extinct" TJM T13 Captured! (1 Viewer)

[Markuson]

Contrary to the seemingly "extinct" status of new TJM T13 bumpers in the wild...

...I just drove home with this:

Yippeeeeeeee!

Not only that...but I hear one of our venders is about to have 3...in stock ready to purchase...which means you won't have to wait FOREVER like I did...

One of the AU sites had them on sale for 899.99 AUD.

Glad to see you got yours. How long did it take?

Wait until you unwrap it...holy crap do they overwrap those things!

Still love mine, my favorite mod.

Are you going to color match or keep it black?

Been waiting for at least 5 months or so...

Keeping it black...which will go with with my dark grey truck, black grill, sliders & eventual RR & rear bumper etc.

Wishing the BP-51 replacements were ready, but ARB is waiting for one of our members to install a test set. Unfortunately, the weather is not so cold any more...and it's Spring in AU. Hope the test is still helpful if it gets done soon.

Which winch?

 

[Markuson]

Which winch?

Warn Zeon 12-S...probably Platinum. Some concern over wireless only, but it also means no knuckleheads can screw around with the rope since there's no clutch for them to grab. .......to be determined...

Its actually Autumn in AU right now. The next 4-5 months are the colder seasons there.

It's wireless ONLY? That's wild. So if the controller battery s***s the bed you're hosed?

There are a few other 12k winches that are both wired and wireless.

It charges via USB, and even with a dead battery, it works if simply plugged in.

Ya. My brain broke on that one... It's not as cold HERE...for our mud member to test.

By the way, @reevesci ...if you made a bumper like Tony's but with a full bull bar, and it's strong...and you weren't so dang far away...I'd have seriously considered switching. But I've seen the T13 in person on both @Willy beamin and @MScruiser 's trucks, and I really like it.

Also QUITE a bit less expensive that the ARB.

 

[allan man]

Sooooo... do we get pictures of it installed before midnight tonight?

He would have made a full bar if I wanted one, I just didn't feel the need for one just yet, maybe in the future though.

As for the price, I can't comment but I will say you might be surprised.

Either way, TJM is a damn decent bumper. I dig it

Edit: Nevermind you were talking about ARB vs TJM price,

Even IF I was that good (I'm not installing it myself), I still only have full use of one arm and one leg...

Can't wait to see that beauty installed...should look really good with the grey!

 

[Markuson]

This is as close as I can come to installing with just one good arm and leg...

 

[steenh]

Had a T3 on my 100 and loved it. Congrats!

That's a great looking bumper! It's going to look outstanding on the truck.

 

[Rigger]

Nice! Can't wait to see it installed.

 

[jbob56]

Man, that's nice. Good job! That'll look sick, can't wait to see it installed.

Is the TJM bumper - airbag, parking sensor and camera compliant? Will all these things still work with the TJM?
If so, that's the front bumper, full coverage winner so far for the pre 2016 LC 200's. My opinion of course. I really like how it does not stick out nearly as much as the ARB delux option in the front.
