Kaymar FJ Cruiser rear bumper

[LandCruisers4Life]

Thanks. I've definitely noticed that some of the after-market companies that seem to be targeting more rock-crawling-style FJC use seem to have gone the higher-clearance route (e.g. AllPro, Demello, etc). I actually love crawling with my ARB - I can use the front tips as "how close are those rocks" probes, and I think without the extra width, I would have dragged my front fenders along rocks multiple times Nothing good wheeling skills wouldn't have solved, but it's kind of like the stabilizer wheels on my first bike while I learn

You have a well built FJ. You're also the guy with the 4+ skid plates. I really, really want a set of those. Them skidz are the dogs balls and I think they are better than those Bud plates everyone is talking about. They are thicker than the Bud plates, I know that from comparing them. I also like the little e-locker protector from inchworm. Might seem trivial, but it's cool. No need to apoligize for your ARB front bumper, I'd rather have the protection up front. However I am not into rock crawling either, it is too much potential for big money damage to my daily driver.

I love the ARB, and despite all arguments over weight, I think it's the best. I think the Kaymar is going to end up being the same for the rear, given the mixed use I have. And the tire swingout is huge for me (my new wheel / tire combos are over 100lbs).

Yeah, I have the 4+ plates (I'm always excited about the fact that it's actually my truck up on the lift in the photos on the MAF webpage (checkout how badly scratched up the cross members are)). I like em, dragged them over lots of stuff and never had problems. I think there out of stock again (they're like some kind of rare hunting quarry that has limited seasons ).

I do light rock wheeling, and even then, I like to have pretty much everything on the underside armoured - hence the inchworm elocker skid and the various other skider bits.

MAF has the skid plates again in small quantity. I picked up a set Monday and installed them Wednesday. Everything was perfectly built and was easy to install. Now we need the gas tank and trailing arm mounts protected and I think we will be ready for the trail in high style !

There are some of the trailing arm skids from TLC that work well (I have them and the only complaint is that I can sometimes pry them away from the rail with a very glancing blow - nothing that a spot weld wouldn't fix).

On the gas tank, I've been surprised both at how little I hit it, and when I do, how well that flexible plastic cover does. I was paranoid as heck about the gas tank for a while when I first got the truck. Now it just doesn't seem an issue.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. Also saw some at the All Pro site. Just debating if I should make my own or spend the cash
