I just ordered a ARB bumper with the light kit for $1229 from 4wheelparts, has anyone had any experience with these bumpers??

Congrats!
Very heavy and will cause sag. Otherwise they are damn strong. I remember having to drill some holes for final mounting.

You will need something unless you don't car le about the sag. My buddy put the bumper on his stock 07 and it was sagging a bit after a while.

Well the lift kit I have on my truck right now sits a bit nose high, so it won't be too much of a problem, but I'll most probably invest in a higher quality lift in the future

You'll be ok then. You will be happy with the bumper through. It's a beast so I hope you have help or a cherry picker to mount it.

Will do! I plan on putting it on some time in the next week or so when I'm not working

It has the option for a winch but I'm gonna get a Winch later on down the line. I only got the foglight kit.

Doesn't 4wheelparts offer free installation?

Hell no they don't, they wanted 550$ off me! They said it takes "extensive work" and that it would take them 6 hours to do. No thanks, I'm gonna call up my buddies to help me install it!

One guy with a transmission jack can do it on a smooth surface...

I feel like you should have bigger tires. And take the Tacoma badge off the side IMO. Other than that you are spot on buddy!!
