Front bumper- arb vs TJM and other variants

[crikeymike]

How much for shipping to Tacoma, Washington?
Will it work OK on a LX570? I don't know if the front fenders have a different shape / cut.

Sending PM. Shipping is about $200 around the country give or take.

We have this option:

Top stainless loop comes with it, but doesn't have to be installed. We have a plug kit for the top of the bumper to fill those holes. They're $1100.00.

Do you sell ARB or Ironman? I'm interested in the welded Ironman Classic Deluxe

We don't sell Ironman. We have a bumper very similar to that though. See here: Bull Bars

It's $1100.00 plus shipping for the 200 series. Give or take $200 for shipping. It comes with the turn signals and the fog lights, and it's black.

It's hard to tell from this pic, but does this Dobbinson's bull bar replace the existing bumper cover completely or will there be cutting involved?

Replaces the bumper cover, no bumper cutting involved.

The Classic Black Deluxe bar looks nice. So the next set of questions:

1. Compatibility with 2013-2015 models with headlight washers? Parking sensors?
2. How do you feel it compares to the Ironman and ARB? (Steel thickness, weld strength, mounting, etc)
3. Do you offer powercoated and/or painting of the remaining bumper cover?
4. Do you have installation instructions online for review?

1. If fitting to models with headlight washers, the headlight washers cannot be re-used. Parking sensor are no problem
2. Our bumper quality is just as good as ARB, but better than Ironman for sure.
3. I don't understand the part of remaining bumper cover. The original bumper needs to be removed and not cut. But we don't offer any painting or powdercoating services.
4. Yes we do, what is your email ?

#1 - Thanks. I've never used mine... I was just curious if they are retained or covered up.

#2 - How is yours better than Ironman? (Not trying to be rude - I've not seen any of these in person).

#3 - Whatever you call the remaining material that gets used in place of the existing bumper in lieu of cutting it. Sounds like they just come in black and I'd need to get it painted locally.

#4 - I'll PM you

And no one has asked about our rear bumpers yet! Guess I'll start another post about that.

I need my wife to scratch up the rear one first.

Yes, I would be very interested in seeing that ... my rear bumper is currently wearing some ugly scars that need to be rectified

Dobinsons Rear Bumpers w/twin jerry can and tire carriers - 60/70/80/100/200 Series

There, includes all the models we make them for, to keep this thread clear for front bumpers.

I will interested how the front bumper is mounted to the frame. I read somewhere about frame welds cracking (at factory crush cans mounting plate) due the cantilevered extra weight to the frame and vibration during wheeling. Do you have picture of the mounting bracket?

Very interesting, and an AMAZING price point! Thank you for introducing this.

I do have a request... Due to the close proximity of your camera to the vehicle, and the effects of perspective (warping of closer portions of the subject in the photo), it's literally impossible to gain a sense of proportion and actual shape.

-So... Any chance you could add a few shots from a greater distance? Otherwise...it's hard to get a feel for the wings, profile, departure angles, etc.

Would LOVE to see... Side profile, rear shot closed, rear shot with jerry can and wheel carrier open, and close-ups of major details such as left or right wing (to see how low it hangs, etc.).

PS.
Q: It appears that the 200 only holds a single jerry can. Is that correct? -Or is it a double stack?

I really like the lines on the TJM bumper. Painted, it really is low profile (for a bull bar).
