Any consensus on bumpers? (5 Viewers)

You don’t have to cut frame or sheet metal. Same for LX570

I think he was referring to the entire body. So, full replacement bumpers where you don't have to cut the bumper.

Which bumper for the 200 doesn't require any cutting of the body or frame?

There's quite a few full replacements out there. TJM, Rival, AFN, Dissent, etc.

Aren't those essentially unobtainium?

Naw. You can contact them thru WhatsApp

A little leap of faith wiring money to Argentina but guys on the forum have done a group buy. And order came thru.

We can special order you the aluminum bumper from AUS, but keep in mind there is a 50% deposit and could take 2-4 months to receive pending on when the next container is being filled and arrival time.

Good to know. I wish that had been communicated to me when I was bumper shopping. I had an email exchange in August of 2022 and was told by Stephanie that it was not available. Definitely would have picked it up if it had been an option.

You are a braver man than me. Also how much is the bumper?

Interesting that the polymer ARB Smart Bar bull bar is supposedly “stronger” than steel.

No doubt its far lighter, but it would be great to see the series of tests used in the comparison.

I’ve an ARB Summit which is no doubt very protective against deer strikes, but less weight at equal/greater strength is an interesting value proposition—if indeed true.

What Are SmartBar Bull Bars? - The new SmartBar (bull bar) is safer for both drivers and pedestrians. Bull bars have been around for decades protecting a wide range of vehicles, or so

Recent safety concerns have forced a rethink on the bull bar and the result is a groundbreaking new product called the SmartBar. This product not only offers additional protection for vehicle occupants, but also for pedestrians and animals, when accidents occur.
