'03 JAOS Center protector, thoughts.
Am curious on everyone's thoughts on the JAOS center protector... I wanted to go with a one piece Manik, but Manik isn't making a one piece guard... I'm not real sure about the Safari-gard Global Extrems bumper deal... I don't want a heavy steel replacement ARB.
I'd like to mount some lights...
Also, anyone with a center protector _or_ JasonB, could I push someone with this ? Does it bolt to the frame or the bumper ?

Well, you asked for "thoughts" and those are my thoughts.

I like it. I have been wanting to put some lights on the front of mine as well. I am not ahuge fan of all the chrome, so I would really consider one if it were powder coated black.

LSUMatt1514,
I agree... But, it's like dating. Your going to get screwed to get screwed.
I used to pick on the "bling bling" crowd... Until the other day when my friend with a Lincoln LS V8 was showing me his new ground effects, rims, and MP5-SD and a bunch of girls walk up and go "Hey nice car, who's is it ?"
Bling ain't bad if it doesn't involve gold rims, gold teeth, and cheap pistols. I just wana know if I can shove someone with the JAOS Center Protector... After all, if price was a reason, I would have bought a Rodeo. <GMAO>

It looks good but I don't know I just don't like all that chrome, maybe if it came in a black powder coat but I do like the look of chrome grille guards on 3rd Gen 4Runners, maybe it has to grow on me, when is the ARB or TJM gonna come out you can push people with thise

Hey, people laugh, but it is a real concern if I can shove someone or not. If you look at the pic I posted, I looks as though the JAOS is attached or riding on the bumper.
You never know when you may need to shove someone, why do you think all those Police cars have those center bars on them ?

I would like it more if it were brushed steel/aluminum or powder coated black as stated by momo and edge. I do like it much better than a full brush guard though, and I would consider getting one for myself if it weren't for the finish. Looks very good with lights mounted also, but then there's the Joas Lamp Stay if that's all you want it for...

Have you looked at the WAAG products? Their product bolts to the frame with a claimed install time in less than 30 minutes. They have chrome, black and matte black finishes.

I think they look great, but are ridiculously overpriced. I just don't understand why Jaos is so friggin expensive.

That looks good, but if you want to push people, wait for TJM or ARB to get theirs to the market.
just my two lincolns!

"Brush" guards are not for pushing other vehicles, plain and simple. And in nearly every case, they end up causing more damage in low-speed accidents than if there was nothing there.
