    Howdy from Colorado.

    I am a landcruiser guy, and needed a pickup.

    2 things planned. Tuffy Center console and Winch front bumper

    adding a Arb bumper from a Tacoma (2005-2011) arb part 3423030.

    Lines up nicely. Frame width mounts are very close.

    pics when I figure it out.

    I like the look. The other ARB bumper that's available for our first Gen looks cartoonish. So that Tacoma bumper looks nice on your Tundra.

    Are you going to do the rear bumper too? It always bugs me when I see a nice looking reinforced front bumper (like yours) and a stock rear bumper. Yeah, purely an aesthetic thing on my part.

    Very cool. I also like this type of look much more than the one that ARB sells that is supposed to be for the 1G Tundra.

    How's the clearance for the front grille look when opening the hood?

    Keep us posted.

    Hood opens fine. I picked up the other oem grill style and plan to add the Toyota logo from an FJ60 Landcruiser to it to drive the purist crazy.

    Looks like the tuffy box will fit as well. Removed both arm rests and used the mounts from the oem console. Cutting the plastic cup holder shortly…

    following this…. Hahaha. Everyone who says they have done it or “explains” how they did it… doesn’t actually give anything helpful.
