I ordered one that should be arriving today! Just looking for some defense from the idiots who do not know how to park here in the city. Picked up my 2015 SR5 Premium Friday night, went to Costco and the grocery store on Saturday, parked at the far corner of the lot where no cars were. Came out and both times there were beat up cars parked next to me. I was like WTF? Of all the spaces you park in you park right next to me.

I will eventually by aftermarket front and rear bumpers, but come on!!!

I just need to figure out what obstructions I can install on the sides and then I won't have to worry about door dings... Maybe just put a snow plow on the front :)

No matter what you put on it, people will still find a way to ding your vehicle. Even a pair of bump out sliders won't stop someone's rear door from dinging your door (I know this one for a fact).

Mine also helps me get better access to the back of my Baja Rack. I hope it helps deter tailgaters, but I don't see it being much good at preventing parking lot dings.

And I'll bet those beaters were employees cars and they were parking where they were told to. Like you I prefer to park some distance out in the empty spaces. But my wife's car looks like it spent most of its life in downtown Baghdad.

I have some good armor for car doors, but tall pickups still can get me. I have more trouble with idiots keying my ride. RTC front bumper, Schrokworks rear, and Armor Tech sliders. Checkout Pathfinder Outdoors.com, my pics are on Ruger Trail album.
 
I have one. It looks pretty nasty with the bumpy/shiny black surface. I plasti-dipped it... much better.

It's also extremely loose in the 4runner's receiver. Wrapped it in duct tape to fix it... :)
