New Bumpers for the Land Cruiser

Post by unwiredadventures » Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:23 pm

A few additions to the Land Cruiser:

New ARB front bumper:

Before:

Old bumper removed and ARB bumper waiting in it's wrapper:

Installed. very easy, about 20 minutes:

New Kaymar rear bumper:

After:

Kaymar was not my first choice in a rear bumper because of it's departure angle. My first choice was the Hanna rear bumper. Hanna is many months backordered and I had an immediate need for a good towing bumper.

Nice looking bumpers. I don't think I've seen a product ARB makes that I don't like.

Nice bumpers. :mrgreen:

I can tell you from my experience that the ARB and Kaymar products are tough to beat, just as is the Landcruiser itself.
