Talking First ROAD ARMOR FJ Bumper

I just had my ROAD ARMOR bumper installed.

I tried to post a pic but since I don't have 4 posts it denied me.

I'll try to post a couple of replies so I can get the picture up.

I've been working with ROAD ARMOR for the past couple of months. (Really, I just let them use my FJ to mock their bumper up on.) But, it is finally done! I really like how it turned out. The bumper on their website is the original prototype so this one has been tweaked since then.

I installed the winch yesterday and I'm really happy with that as well. The bumper is designed for a face mount winch. I didn't realize this when I bought my WARN last month so I had to install a mounting bracket. Now I just need to get it out and wheel it.

Hopefully pictures will be coming soon.

I just realized I misspelled Bumper in the title...Oops!

Re: First ROAD ARMOR FJ Bumber

They show $1130 on their website. So they aren't cheap however, after looking at their shop and watching the production process I can tell you they make a nice product. A lot of there sale are to contractors in Iraq. They are installing them on a lot of the up-armored vehicles. Because of this ROAD ARMOR has actually done ballistic and blast testing on a lot of their bumpers.

Re: First ROAD ARMOR FJ Bumber

Wow! That's a great looking bumper! I like the detail and design a lot. Really looks good on the FJ, like it was stock.
