AFAIK, the Prado or Tacoma ARB bumper fit the 3rd Gen. but require some modification to the mounting brackets, but that's based on memory not empirical data. Mike Re: 3rd Generation Aftermarket Bumpers--Air Bag Compatible [Re: azrain] #554635 02/10/05 12:00 AM Anonymous Unregistered I'm also getting ready to step up to a bull bar versus factory bumper. The only concern I have is the added weight to the front of the vehicle. How much heavier is it than say the weight of the factory bumper? As it is right now my 33's don't rub. I'm using a 3" spacer lift. I assume adding the additional weight of the bull bar might introduce rub? Does anyone have any input here? I have been looking at both the TJM T15 and the ARB. I ideally want to go with the lighter of the two. Any insight you can give on this would be appreciated.

The true bull bar probably weighs another 10 / 12 lbs or so I would figure. I'd hazard a guess that the stock bumper and brackets are probably closer to 40, likely less. It shouldn't settle much, I need to adjust my ride height due to the bumper when it was installed.
