We’ve been running the Aluminess FJ Cruiser front bumper for a little over six months now so we thought it was time to give an update on how it’s working out for us.

So far this bumper has exceeded our expectations. It’s light, strong, and holds up well to everything we’ve thrown at it. It didn’t take long after we installed the bumper to get a ding as well as a scuff. On a tight trail just outside Idaho Springs, CO we barely squeezed between two trees on a difficult climb, which resulted in the first scuff. Shortly after (on the same trail) we got bumped by a Jeep Wrangler that was in a bit of a hurry to get turned around. That left a small ding in the bumper that we still haven’t touched up. Since this bumper is made of aluminum, we don’t have to worry about rust. In fact, other than those two minor incidents, this bumper looks just as new as it did when we installed it.
