There are 2 factory bumpers for the 200 in Australia. 1 in aluminum and 1 in steel. They will not ship them to America.
So what happens to these bumpers when you hit a deer (or a kangaroo)? They don't look they provide much protection. I know I'm looking for a modest amount of protection but these look too small? Any corner protection?There are 2 factory bumpers for the 200 in Australia. 1 in aluminum and 1 in steel. They will not ship them to America.
Thanks, @brasskey! The pics and the 2016 experience are very helpful. And since you are in the Denver area I think I'll take you up on a meetup. I'll PM you about that. Though not in a rush as this is likely an early 2019 purchase. One more thing that others may be interested in. Did you do the install or did you have someone do it for you? And how did you order/purchase the bumper? Was it through the installer? Any issues with availability? How long did it take to receive it?

One more question on the TJM. In the pictures it looks like there is both a rectangular LED light and some type of circular light on each side of the bumper. Am I seeing that correctly? If so, which is the "fog light"? Is it possible that the rectangular lights (if that is what they are) could be used to have sideways-directed "flood" lights to augment the standard stock light setup? (I am thinking that if I put lights on the top of the bumper inside the "hoop" that I will impact the view of the forward looking camera.

I always thought something like the Slee "Short Bus" for the 80 series would look good on the 200.

Bumping this old thread on the T13 as I am thinking armor lately and the T13 keeps coming up as top of the list.
I keep looking for an alternative, bc my only gripe about the T13 is aesthetics - it’s not as streamlined / light as some of the others. But, as has been pointed out in this thread, there seems to be no better option that holds the function line firm and still looks decent.
So, if I go T13, was thinking why not just throw on the metal pieces that connect the front bumper at the hoops to the front of the sliders (protecting the fenders? Am assuming these are called “dual aerials”, but not 100% certain. Did a quick search in the 200-series threads and couldn’t find any discussions on the dual aerials, if that’s what they are called.
My main question is whether the “dual aerials” are compatible with any slider on the market? Am thinking Bud Built, Slee, or White Knuckle, but still researching. Figure the “dual aerial” consideration *may* filter out some slider options.
Secondarily, has anyone opted for these “dual aerials” - or seriously considered them? If so, mind offering pros/cons?
Dual aerials refers to the two spots on the bumper where you can attach an antenna. Aerial=antenna.
