In the distant future I'd like to get the ARB Sahara bumper for my 01 QX4. The problem is that it would void my front turn signals, as they are in the factory fog lights. How could turn signals be integrated into a setup with an ARB bumper? Seamlessness is ideal.

just get generic lamps that fit in the fog lamp recesses in the bumper, and use a yellow lens or put some yellow tint on a clear lens. then splice directly to your current turn signal lamp circuit.

the real problem, however, with putting an ARB Sahara on your QX4 is that they're discontinued.

Thats bad news, because I want one. I wonder if they have any left floating around in some wearhouse?

My last conversation with ARB ~ 6 months ago was they they WILL produce the bumper IF they receive an order for two or more bumpers. The volume just wasn't there to maintain it as a production item. Call the company and do your own due diligence. IF you have a group buy they will probably produce them.

Call them (866) 293-9078

^^^ what he said. when i ordered mine, the entire country was out of stock. as luck would have it, another guy ordered an ARB bumper also, so we met the 2 order minimum. otherwise, i would've been waiting months and months or even years to get my bumper. even though we met the pre-order minimum with a few weeks, i still had to wait a total of 6 months for my bumper.

i will bet big money that there is not a single NEW bumper for sale in the USA.

I have another question that is sorta along the same lines so I didn't want to make a new thread;

Does anyone know if a TJM bumper for 1996-1999 pathfinders would fit 1999.5-2004 pathfinders, or in my case a 2001 QX4? I know the bodies are roughly the same, but wasn't sure about the QX4 front end.

Nevermind. I had it confirmed that it will fit.
