This is the first time I've seen this-from another website. The part number is on the ARB site but no pics yet, but this looks legit:

The Tundra keeps looking better and better, the $3,000 rebate continues through September. Suspension kits are already available or in the works.

Looks like that'd work. Is that Tundra a 4WD? Seems so low, lots of sheet metal hanging down along the rocker panels.

Looks good. Nice to see ARB getting behind the new Tundra already.

I do think it would look better on a white Tundra though, JMO -

wow

That would be the definition of a "cow killer." Looks too big and heavy in my opinion. I bet it weighs 200 lbs.

Looks waaaaay too big. The top tube bars just seem too out of hand for me. That sucks, cause i love ARB bumpers. Probably no other way since the front of the new truck is so big and goofy looking.

Better pics:

Looks like some bigger tires in the bed....I wonder what those are for?

I'm sure the bumper is heavy and would require some stouter springs. I think the 381hp engine could handle it!

That second set of pics looks better in my opinion. In the first pic, it still looks a bit out of place, but then again, Pics online probly don't do it justice. I bet it's nice in person. ARB does good stuff.
In regards to 4wd and 2wd, they both sit at the same ht. There is no difference in stance of the new Tundra b/t 4x4 and 2wd models.

My two cents...

I'm a big fan of ARB bumpers, but I have to admit... I really don't like the looks of this one. It just seems way to large. Maybe it's the lower cross tube, but it just doesn't look right - especially in black.

I think they should consider head-hunting Shrockworks lead designer... although there is no doubt that the bumper is built well.

i think the main plan with this bumper is not approach angle or offroading, but more of a protection like you see those huge bumpers on dodge or the fords, elk killers or moose catchers.

thats just my opinion.

It doesn't look so big and awkward when it's color matched.

The new Tundras are still an odd looking duck but I'm sure I'll get used to 'em. Tiny cab with a big, deep looking bed. I've seen a few regular cabs in town and those I actually like.

I really wanna test drive one with that 5.7! :smiley_drive:

Didn't like the first pic but the second one looks pretty nice. I would like to see the truck after those larger tires find their way into the wheel wells!

I agree.

Don't know if any of you get the ORA (Off Road Adventures) magazine from 4 wheel parts, but they've got a new build up they are starting on a new Tundra. I think the idea is a "Hunting duty" style rig that can go into the woods and come out with some game. I just thumbed through the new magazine last night and saw the pictures, but haven't read through it to see what they have planned.
