ARB Is Here – Ask Us Anything About Your 4th Gen Build

[marie_arb]

Do you have any pictures of the 3523060 Compressor mounting bracket installed with and without the compressor? Where does it mount? Under the hood, in the bed?

Also are your authorized bumper and suspension install locations trained by ARB? I am contemplating your Zenith winch bumper and old man emu lift kit. I can accomplish the job myself no worries. But am considering having your installer do it. This issue is I am super picky about how things are done. I would feel better having the lift and bumper installed with factory trained installers. My confidence is not real high with my local 4 wheel parts being one of the authorized installers.

The pics on this post show a zenith bumper with hoops that is not on your website. Is this an upcoming model not released yet?

Thanks in advance

Hello!
We don't have any photos of the compressor mounting bracket installed as of yet, we will be posting some more information about it in this forum very soon.

In terms of ARB-trained shops, that is not something we offer. We would recommend looking around at local 4x4 shops that sell ARB products.

And the bumper in our photos is only a prototype! It should be released later this year, hopefully around September! We'll make sure to post an update on our forums as soon as we have more information.

How about some info of the black bumper on the red Tacoma in the pictures you shared??

This is our unreleased Summit Front Bumper and will be coming this fall. We are hoping to have stock available in September.

That’s the Toyota factory ARB accessory bumper. It comes on the trail hunter. I have one on my TRD Off Road.

Hi there!
We actually have not released this bumper yet; it is our Summit Front Bumper and will be coming this fall.

Any plans to have accessories for the ARB Sports Bar that comes with Trailhunters?

Currently, no plans are in the works, but feel free to drop ideas; we are all ears to hearing what the 4th Gen Community wants for their trucks!

Make the ARB Ascent Truck Cap for the long bed.

Unfortunately, at this moment, we do not have the Ascent Truck Cap in development for the 6ft bed. If that were to change in the future, we would let the community know.

Are you looking for the front bumper or the rear one? If it is the rear one, they just released the OEM ARB accessory rear bumper in the Canadian market just recently. There are 2 versions. One with and one without sonar(the parking sensors). If you give your VIN to a Toyota parts advisor they can look up which one is applicable to your vehicle and the necessary replacement harness. If you are looking at the front bumper, that is ARBs Zenith bumper you can get directly from them.

Currently, the only front bumper we have available is the Zenith Winch Bumper. We are working to release the Summit Front Bumper later this year!

Can I have a trailhunter ARB rear bumper for my Offroad for freezies?

Hi Will!
We don't currently sell any of the TrailHunter accessories; those are exclusive to the trim.

We appreciate you shooting your shot, A for effort! A free bumper is a bit of a stretch, but if you're in the market for a front bumper, we do currently offer the Zenith Winch Bumper, and we will be releasing the Summit Front Bumper (on the red Tacoma) later on this year. Let us know if you have any questions!

 

[marie_arb]

Will do! We visited the ARB booth at Overland Expo West (Flagstaff) this weekend. We look forward to the 10K lb winch at a low price in the coming weeks.

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to send us a photo when you do pick up your winch. We'd love to hear your feedback!

Hello ARB team. Are there any plans for rear suspension upgrades for the PreRunner and other leaf spring trims on the 4G platform???

The Zenith front bumper looks engineered for the most extreme conditions. Anything else planned for us mere mortals?

I would love more protection up front, but in reality I will not be doing extreme off road adventures, and would love a steel ARB front bumper for some added protection & functionality… Something to match OEM Steel ARB rear bumper.

I unfortunately had the Zenith bumper installed on my 24 Trailhunter. I say unfortunately, because though I like the bumper, (I wish it had brush guards like your upcoming summit) the engineering of the installation is appalling. The shop I worked with regularly installs ARB bumpers and the Zenith threw them for a loop. I spent a few days with them working through the moving of wiring and installation of the winch, and still ended up with tacoma parts that wobble in the wind because the design of the bumper doesn't allow for proper attachment of the chopped off components. I would never recommend to another Tacoma owner to purchase a Zenith bumper based on my experience.

Dannggggg, thanks for telling ARB and this forum of the failed installation.

@marie_arb would ARB offer to send a technician out to our member @rchrds to fix the installation?

Haha, I'd probably drive to them, if this was on the table.

Here's a gratuitous, if not somewhat dirty, picture of said Zenith bumper in Northern Coahuila (Mexico) wandering around the desert looking for caves. From a distance it looks great, but the real issue is the plastic tacoma parts behind it that have to be trimmed to fit the bumper, and particularly, the bottom of the part that holds the center grille light bar isn't properly secured- and it vibrates in the wind, on or off road, and at night it's supremely irritating. The stock camera mounts upside down, so you have to go to the dealership to have it reprogrammed. The hole cut for the camera isn't big enough, so it shows on the camera view. The sensor wiring is pinched between plastic and metal, and has to be carefully routed. There's a lot of complex shit going on in the front of the tacomas, and this an impressive low profile bumper, but it needed a little bit more thinking going on for the installation. There's enough space on top of the bumper I might have a local shop weld up some protective hoops for the lights, as I pinstriped her pretty good on this trip, and the plastic light covers took some damage too.

What are the dimensions of the light lens that is in the Overland series topper. I want to get it 3d printed so I can extend my review mirror camera to that location.
