seanpistol's 01 Tundra

is that a direct bolt on? i havent seen anyone do this before but i do want the "normal" arb bumper that allows a winch to be installed as well

No not a direct bolt on unfortunately. There is a guy on here that did it. He had to get custom brackets made, which cost the most out of the project, but it looks great. Much more slim lined and clean.

Any chance you have a link or a name to search? Thanks


I would love to have your camper shell. Does the entire rear door also open and by just the middle?

I'm enjoying the shell, it was a good purchase for $100. I put new locks in it for another $100. I just ordered a new piece of glass for the cracked window at forward top part of the shell($85), and two new bug screens($15 ea). Not bad. To answer your question, the back door opens and can be closed from the inside or outside, and the entire back hatch lifts and opens up as well.

I bought a safari bar with damaged mounting brackets and hacked it up so it was tighter to the body and didn't stick out so far, once modified it was a way better fitting bumper I felt

This is the tightest u could get it to the cab and still use a winch, the Arb are very well built bumpers

 

[seanpistol]

looks 100x better, that bumper sticks out so far from the truck the way it comes in the box

Thanks figured id give you an idea of what a modified one cab look like, it would be easier for ur access cab body style as well

I have one question. I have looked at many pictures of 1st gen. Tundras and Sequoias with the Sahara bar, and have seen a few in person, where the hoop does not lean forward. My question is, why does the hoop on this bumper lean forward?

 

[tyv12]

In Australia and South Africa all bull bars lean forward so that if you hit animal the bar will knock down the animal and it will go under the truck

I noticed Scotty over at www.addictedoffroad.com has a new plate bumper made up for taco's debuting Dec 1st. Think we could get enough tundra owners to clamor for a tundra version? I personally think it is the best looking bumper Scotty has produced to date. He also has his regular tundra tube bumper for under $600 which is a nice option too.
