ok,
Ive been asked by a few people to post up about the bumpers here, so here it is.
some of you have seen both my front and rear bumpers, both were done by Armorology This guy has great customer service, attention to detail, he is very anal about what leaves his shop.
He is a one man show, so not a lot of overhead to pay for, I really cant say enough about his craftsmanship, customer service, and his prices are better than others I have talked to about "custom" work.


Ill get better pics soon..

 

VERY VERY NICE A$$..lol

I really like the way the bumper looks...very burly!

 

Excellent, I love a clean looking bumper.

 

how much did that end up costing you if you dont mind me asking

 

thankx all, ill try to post better picks later.

 

Redo the exhaust. It looks like poo.
Perhaps a turndown.

That bumper is sick for sure.

 

I agree 100% im going to look into that asap..

 

I love that bumper! the runner isn't bad either --- Three thumbs up

 

I have seen these in person and boy are they nice. the attention to detail is amazing. unless you know runners you probably wouldn't know it was a custom job. the clearances are perfect, the top of the rear bumper goes under the body even with the hatch up, i was going to kick it but did want to break my foot.
Yeah Ric we gotta do something about that blow pipe.

Very good looking bumper. Makes me want one even more.

 

Thankx for all compliments guys.
heres a few more pics.

 

niiice bumpers ric!

you sir..have the sexiest runner ive seen. Its what i want mine to (eventually) look like...bumpers are top notch. those guys do some great fab work. I especially like the short overhang of the rear.

question about the bumpers: are the shackles just welded onto the bumper face? or are the bumpers notched and the shackles welded all the way through? I hear conflicting stories as to what works better/safer...

once you get your FZJ80 wheels on there...your trucks gonna be biiig pimpin

 

d0ubledown,
well thank you sir, but there are alot of Runners that i really like..
about the shackles, i believe they are welded to the face, which are strong enough, last weekend my rig was used as an anchor for a fj80, then another fj was anchored to my rear, Crux has a pic, i think, so i know that they do hold. hope this helps.

 

i know this has nothing to do with the "bumpers" but i was at Jeds today, and we took a few pics, so i thought id share..

 

D0ubledown is right Ric...you have a damn sexy 4Runner. Can't wait to see it at Crystal Mountain tomorrow! Yeehaw!

 

Beautiful stuff -- still wondering how much it cost. Price?

Ed
