IRONMAN / TJM / ARB Bull Bar : pros and cons

[KY Longhunter]

I'm contemplating upgrading the front bumper on my 2011 LC200 and really like the ARB Sahara minus chrome hoop. But feel it's overpriced.

I'm comparing to TJM and IRONMAN.

Looking for pictures of 200 series with all of the above, and pros and cons.

I don't think I had seen that before. I like it, but agree it's expensive.

Which TJM?

I think the T13 is about $1100

There are more pictures of the VPR bumper on vpr4x4.com.

The TJM T13 and Iron man seem to be the most competitively priced.

ok, at somepoint you have to ask yourself. Do you have a problem? Don't let this guy into a lamp store.

I asked Amory the same question the other day and he wasn't sure if or when. He could have been messing with me too. I'd buy it in a heart beat.

I think the Viper bumper sets too high or needs a skid plate or something.

ARB is still my favorite minus the cut bumper fascia

I think the ARB looks dated on the 200. It fits the 100 series really well, but it looks out of place with the newer 200 series.

I am just not a fan of how far the ARB sticks out on the front of the 200. The TJM sticks out a little less than the ARB.

I really wish Slee would come out with something for the 200. I have their Short Bus bumper on my 200 and love it.

Otherwise, I know where some of my money is going ... and I want to see pics of a short bus on a 200!

Haha, sorry. No short bus for the 200 that I know of. Meant to say for my 80.

I would avoid the TJM unless you like paying 100% upfront and then waiting for months with no info as to where it is.

True! But they do show up. Just put a TJM one the 200 and I'm as pleased with it as I was with the one I put on my 100.

My TJM bumper got delivered in less than 10 business days, but that was when they were carrying LC200 stuff in stock. I believe now it gets shipped once the order is placed, which can take 4-8 weeks. With that said, I would happily wait a couple months than cut my bumper in half and bolt on the massive ARB bumper.

Bumpera are made from ASTM A36 steel, with a tickness of 1/4 for the winch and frame base, we use 3/16 in the front plate and 1/8 plate on the sides, this achieve a perfect balance between a strong and light bumper. All bumpers are CNC plama cut and then mig welded. The finish paint can be black powdercoat or bed liner paint for the most extreme protection. This bumper also include one LED Light in each side. Front silver plate that's says Toyota is removable to get quick access for service of the winch, all the hardware that use on this plate is stainless steel and with 8mm Allen head bolts. Got 3 of this ready to ship in our Miami, FL warehouse. This are 100% custom made, also if the customer want to change some of the engraving or ad something else like a stinger or light bar we can modified the bumpers in our shop. All bumpers come with 2 years warranty from defects in materials and metal workmanship.
