Way too big for the FJ, but I like the way it hugs the body. It looke like it fits closer than the ARB.

When i first saw the picture i said" dam'n that looks good".
It's almost an All Pro meets ARB bumper. Like the hoop bars and shackel mounts,just looks way to heavy.

Looks great, but also looks HEAVY.

Yep, noobie here. BUT I too saw the bumper - it's not heavy...around 90#...

It's made of aluminum. 3/16" aluminum.

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

I feel the same, like whomever designed it, just doesnt think about stuff like that. Plus it looks like its HEAVY!!!

Looking at it agian it just looks like a steel version of the stock bumper without the "wings", not impressed.

The winch placement is much to low on this bumper. It's going to get a lot of abuse on the trail. If a bumper dosen't sit higher than the tow hooks on the frame, it is no better than a stock bumper. The added weight of brush guards, in my opinion, are of little value. I perfer a bumper lighter in weight.

armor is certainly the right word for it...way too big for the FJ IMO

The ARB just looks SO D@MN good, that I compare others to it, and none are even close (in this style of bumper).
