Definitely left some aluminum on the trail. But I've beat the hell out of these plates and have been thoroughly impressed with the aluminum skids. Trying to do a Rubicon run soon, I'll probably have to take them off after that for some straightening haha
Ran lower Bronco canyon with a small group yesterday. It got pretty gnarly but everyone made it through with no major damage. Definitely some of the biggest and toughest rock gardens I've taken my 4runner through.
I've had mine in for a while but haven't taken any flex shots. Took a couple today after we got back from some trails. Definitely noticeable over stock, and I still have stock lower links right now also.
I recently installed a pair of PIAA Superior Bass horns and i'm pretty happy with them.
