Getting the Wheeling Fever
I'm going to fab some sliders and bumpers for the Montero soon, and would like to see what others have. Please post pictures your body armor. Detail shots of the mounting brackets would be nice too.

Tell me about it..

To answer your question: I don't use protection, I can't afford it right now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You can feel the bumping and grinding a whole lot better without protection. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Too many 4x4's, not enough time or money

What do you prefer to see first? Bumpers, Sliders? Skid plates? To give you an idea... ALL of my fab'd protection is at least 1/4" thick (3/8" in the lower part of the rear bumper).

I am hoping Justice can post some close ups of his sliders, they looks really sweet, I think I am going to make something similar. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I am giving some serious thought to some tubes that go from the arb to the rock siders to protect the front fenders.

I would definitely recommend sliders first. I would almost say it's all your really need.
