Okay, just for reference and as an example of how these panels should hold up.

These pics are from a bad rollover that I had a few years ago. This was a hard multiple rollover on a trail called Pucker Canyon in Stoddard Valley, CA. I rolled at least 5 times down this ravine. The panels on the rig were just simple 1/8" diamond plate panels, not 3/16" panels like the new ones I am selling. The mounting design is pretty much identical except mine wrap under for a little more rigidity. IMO, no panel should be required to survive a roll like this, but its just for reference of how that can and should hold up.

The roll started where this pic was taken from.






The panel is designed to deflect the damage and spread it out across the section. It did its job as best it could under the circumstances.

Again, that is an 1/8" diamond plate panel. My 4runner panels are 3/16". They should easily handle a hard shot from a rock and not do any damage that a rattle can can't touch up.

 

huh, now your starting to persuade me. Although, there was not much force directed to that area because of the roll cage, so while that may help a little, if that roll cage had been any closer to the front of the vehicle I believe that panel would have been toast. But since your panels are stronger...

I just may have to see some of these things in use.

 

The cage wasn't that close to the side, and the side never contacted the cage in that section.

 

looks good!
I like it, to much for me to spend at the moment, and I have a pickup.

But I like the idea that you have.
I figure that some people will love it, others won't get it or understand it until it happens to them.

One example would be that yes the bumpers will take care of 90% of any damage, but when your on a trail and going in tight between trees, and you rub the rear up against a tree, the bumper will do nothing for any sheet metal above the bumper.
I know first hand, after 2 years of having a nice crease on my bed, I am having to do body work to it.
If I had this, i would have any body work to do.

 

Those pics trip me out every time I see them. Hard to imagine rolling that many times.

 

you definatelly don't want to imagen rolling at all.

 

I've been lucky enough not to. I DID have Scotty rolling end over end chasing me down a hill back in CA. Watched that in my rearview mirror. He sure was hard on that poor Bronco

 

Well, here are the corner panel protection mounted on a rig at the shop. The black on white is mainly for contrast. We can powdercoat for many different colors. These are a Hammered tone gloss black.
