It's on! TJM RB8 Rear Bumper

[macneill]

Finally got the new bumper on. Still not sure if I'm going to paint it to match or not. I'm kinda digging the black right now. I've got some step sliders coming and may leave those black too.

Also will get the spare carrier in the future. Can't spring everything on the wife at once.

A coupla more showing the high-lift jack mounts.

 

[macneill]

Last two. Provisions for the mud flaps. Holes for a pintle hook too if I ever tow anything.

nice looking rig!
love these hilift points!

Looks good! I have to agree, i like the black on your rig. It looks good with the wheels and the sliders will make it look even better.

Nice! Of the production Aussie bars, this is my favorite. The Kaymar and ARB are huge boat anchors, IMHO. I'd leave it black and then paint/coat your front bumper black, that would look wicked!

 

[macneill]

Thanks. I looked at the Kaymar, but it only came with a hitch, unless you special ordered one.

I liked the Slee too, but I couldn't pass this one up for only $850.

Actually didn't check out the ARB. I guess I'm kind of a TJM guy.

Mac,
Look'n good. Like the black...and touch up will be easier once you scratch it up

 

[aedgington]

Consider this another vote to stay black!

I think you should keep it black and paint the front bumper black. Black wheels, bumper and sliders would look great! If you don't paint the front bumper black, then you gotta paint the rear bumper to match it. IMHO it looks funny if front/rear don't match.

BIG time n00b question but the wheels???

Are they the stock wheels powder coated or something like that? I've seen them on other 100's on this site.

Wanted a second set for the MTRs and their really isn't much out other than bling stuff so I got the Lexus wheels.

Bought 'em used on ebay and had them powdercoated at a local shop and then rattlecanned the center caps to cover the gold. :hillbilly

Looks great mac. Keep it black. I'll hopefully be hitting my second rims with black before going out to the trail this weekend. I'm a big fan of that look.

 

[VA Runner]

Very cool... I also like the black. How much does the bumper weigh? Any idea?

Hey a little ghetto but I wouldn't have it any other way either.

Where is there a tow hitch? Do have to put a hitch on?

I got it sans hitch. However, those 4 bolt holes in the center could house a pintle hook. Not that I would ever tow anything heavy enough to warrant a pintle.

I think you can also just bolt on the factory Toyota one underneath. Uses the same mounting points as the bar. This is actually preferable to the Kaymar option, IMHO, because you have the choice:

1.) If you don't need to tow but want improved ground clearance, leave the hitch off.

2.) If you need to tow, bolt it on in about 10 minutes.
