I recently purchased 4run 24 TRD Sport, pt 4 whdr & looking 4 brush guard any suggest ?

I hit this at 55 mph. Dead center between the headlights. No time to hit the brakes. All it did was tweek the license plate frame. That bumper paid for itself that day. Yes, the deer went in the freezer.

 

imagine if this guy had a brush guard or stock front end vs this slimline bumper. Outcome would have been way different, enough said about going with a plate style bumper.

Sorry SR, just saw you posted this further down in the convo. Youre the reason why I chose mine. Deer are like bad drivers around my area, theyre all over the place

 

@akakaiser I think your points are valid… mostly. Once we move beyond the wraparound brushguard/garnish, to the bumpers that @Stoney Ranger and @TrailSpecial22 showed, we've moved into a category of legitimate protection. And yeah, a small bumper-mounted bull bar, might be a lucky shot against a deer, and maybe it won't protect the truck against a moose or even a mature buck, but it is legitimate protection. We can keep moving further into that category like the bumper on my Pickup (just a classic ARB with full bull bar; I'd post a picture, but if I do that one more time, @Borracho Loco says I have to sell him the truck). It offers more protection… maybe a slightly bigger deer, maybe it protects more of the truck. I think we're all striking a balance between some protection without going full Aussie.

 

Your bumper looks like it wouldn't block the radar cruise control sensor. Who manufactures it? Thank you. Bill

 

correct, no issues with the sensor. The bumper is from SSO. Southern state off-road.

 

SSO = Southern Style Offroad

 

correct for “style”. I was Using Siri in the car, she cant keep up when im doing 80. Lol!
