New ARB Bumper Pics

[msummer]

I took some daytime pictures as requested. This is the new ARB bull bar on a stock FJ60 (old springs with 31" x 10.50" BFG AT).

Hey, your truck is blue!

Good looking rig.

That looks like my bull bar!!

Man I really like the new style.
It looks like it sticks out further, does it or is it the picture angle?

 

[Elbert]

is this bumper a new design? from ARB

 

[CaliCruiser]

Yes

 

[FJ60Cam]

How is it different?

 

[HZJ60 Guy]

I like mine better. More coverage. I like the higher profile better.

I think yours is hi profile enough

personally I think the bumper fits the lines better, I would be curious if it sticks out further or it is just the picture.

I like the new style a lot. Looks sharp. Are they still the same price point as the old style?

Mine should be here any day. I can wait.

I'm not sure if it sticks out more than the old one or not since I've never seen one in person.

I measured 11.5" from the middle of the lower valence to the front edge of the bumper. It's a little under 13" from the lower valence to the front of the uprights (upper tube supports). (I held the tape on the lower valence just below the grill)

The price was $720 plus shipping.

It wasn't too bad to install. I had a couple friends over because they wanted to see it, but you could put it on by yourself without too much effort. It also has adjustments for 1" and 2" body lifts.

Nice! I want one and I want one now!

 

[cajun65]

Awesome! Looks really good.

hard to tell from the pics but does that new style bumper have integrated attachment points for D shackles like the old one?

Is it just me, it looks like it sticks out quite a bit more....

Side shot...

WHY THE HELL CANT I POST PICS ANYMORE?????

It looks like it sticks out a lot more. It looks like ARB redesigned it to make it more friendly to cars and pedestrians by eliminating the protrusion where the roller fairlead goes. Doing it that way makes the main bar much deeper. Compare the pics to see what I mean,

 

[msummer]

Maybe somebody with the old ARB could take some measurements for comparison?

Everyone is getting all excited about the new one. I'm I the only one that likes the looks of the old one better? And if the new one sticks out further it's really going to screw with approach angles compared to the old one. I'll be the first to call dibs on anybody's old one if they want to replace it with new.

x2, that thing sticks out waaaay to far for my tastes. Is the old style discontinued?
