Re: Body Armor Bumper

I can't decide if I like it or not! The flatness in the front, and the lower hang of it, is a turn off. The approach factor is definitly hurting. On the other hand, it kinda looks good. Maybe its the matching color, I don't know. Looks like it might stop a deer though.

Landrover, it's your job to get the specs! Now go get them! Lol.
You got to do something to earn your MOD money.

Re: Body Armor Bumper

It looks like it kills your approach angle...

Irony: Their name is "Body Armor", but they have the Toyota "bling" plate still on

And you would think they would have lined er'
up better then than... it angles down and does
not match the fender line... plus too low...

Re: Body Armor Bumper

I'm sure there will be a many who like the tank-like image it gives the FJ but not for me. Way too big and bulky, I can only imagine how much it weighs.

Don't like it. They did get the guards right though...protects signal lights.
