The TJM T-15 bumper I bought for my 2000 4Runner does have a sticker on the top panel visible that indicates the bumper is compatible with airbag systems on which the specified vehicle is installed. If I remember reading correctly, the bumper must be able to compress (or collapse, crush, etc) during a frontal impact similar to the factory bumper in order for the RH and LH front airbag sensors (located on the top end of the front frame, under hood)to detect the correct amount of deceleration in order to properly trigger the airbag deployment.

Too little give in the bumper may make the airbag sensors trigger the airbags when they should not. That is probably why the TJM website mentions the extensive testing they have done to determine the crush rate of the TJM bumpers during a frontal impact.

In any case, I have been more than satisfied with mine. No complaints. Good luck with whatever choice you make. Both TJM and ARB are good choices.
