    I just installed my new ARMOR TECH OFFROAD rear bumper and it's badass. I don't mean just by looks either. I feel sorry for the next poor S.O.B. that slams into my rear end, his childrens children will be born in pain. This puppy is SOLID as a rock! Kevins attentiion to fit in finish are most excellent and it made the install a breeze! All in all it took about an hour with playing around while myself and one other person removed the factory bumper and install the new rear bumper. Don't bust my balls too bad on the pic quality, my point and shoot camera is on the fritz and the shop lights made the pics bright. So I apologize in advance.

    If your a looking for a QUALITY rear bumper or skid plates or anything else Kevin puts his hands on, this is the place! I cannot say enough on how happy I am. Should you deal with Kevin, you will NOT be disappointed, ARMOR TECH OFFROAD rocks! :cheers:

    Last time I will see this one on there!

    Kevin does a great job and couldn't be nicer if he tried. All I did was bolt it on, Kevin did all of the hard work!

    That bad boy field dresses at about 125 lbs or so. probably 40-50 pounds heavier than a factory bumper and factory hitch, and about 50 times stronger lol. It's a beast!

    I love my Trxus Swampers. I have about 17-18k on them now and they are about half worn. The lifespan is not really long, but I knew that going into it. Balancing was a bitch, but most oversize offroad tires are. Overall wear and ride have been fine, they ride nice. As they are getting lower they are getting a bit louder but not obnocious. I am very happy with them and as you can see from the pics, you can get a 285/75/16 in your spare tire carrier. I am a HUGE Interco tire fan, that's all I have ever run since I put the original Super Swampers on my 1986 truck. Now those were loud as hell. One tip I can give anyone with their tires is rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate and when doing so cross rotate them. This will cut down on the choppiness and also keep noise to a minimum and wear at a maximum. Consistant tire inflation also and use nitrogen instead of regular air. Nitrogen is much more stable and is also a larger molecule than oxygen/air, thus providing for less slow leaks and less fluctuation in your tire pressure. I don't care what tire you buy if you don't do the maintenance you will never be happy. I would rate the Swamper Trxus M/T on a scale from 1-10 a 9 all day long, almost a 10 IMO.

    Kevins high clearance bumper is a rediculous, serious chunk of metal. You will not be disappoined with it. I just could not bring myself to cut my body. If I was all hardcore and so forth I would have one for sure. When I start on the 85 4Runner I have, I will see if Kevin can make me somthing for that.

    Quite reasonable actually for the quality, mine with the hitch added on was 650.00. If you go to the main forum page and scroll down on the left hand side and click on ARMOR TECH OFFROAD, Kevin has all of the pricing with options etc. You can get lights installed, hitch can be hidden. Or contact FIRE931 directly through PM and Kevin will work with you, great guy and a great quality product.
