More clearance?

New light pockets for fogs but no shackle mounts still.

Still looks like the same clearance. I still like my All-Pro better especially after seeing how much Will's likes to hit things.

I haven't hit much with mine due to clearance. And yeah the ARB is a much better deer killer than the All-Pro.

I find that if you are having clearance problems with the ARB bumper ... you just keeping ramming the obstacle untill you can clear it. Clearance issue solved, trail maintenance needed.

Not to mention your bumper saved your truck from an extreme roll over, by wedging into the bank.

I probably would have "cleared" that bank with an All-Pro. ... and then died.

Woohoo ARB

I've always wondered why the FJ bumper had fogs but the Tacoma one didn't...Awesome revision, it looks good!

armor tech will do a front bumper, and I'm sure it will be as strong as the ARB and as good looking/clearance as the allpro. Sorry for the thread jack ;)

Dibs on your Allpro when you ditch it for the Armor Tech! :D

As long as armor tech can keep a bumper close to "1 large" (that's how the kids are talking these days) ... I'd still be interested. I've just found that all the airbag compliant plate bumpers that are as close to as beefy as the ARB bumpers cost well over 2 grand.

The pictures I've seen of your rear bumper look really good though. Wish I was there to help with cutting up your truck box so I could have seen it in person.
