New front bumper, rear bumper, and sliders
Well I finally got my truck back from Armorology in colorado springs.
Jed did an awesome job fabricating these bumpers and I can't wait to try them out this summer. Thanks to Ric for being my guinea pig on these new designs!
Square tube rock guard with round tube slider kick outs
Too bad I didn't have this bumper before I dented my rear liftgate off a ledge last summer. Someday I'll have to get that body work done, but it still closes, so I'm good for now.
Jed re-aligned the hole for the spare tire in rear bumper top skirt.
I also had my exhaust rerouted over the frame rail and then pointed down.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but now the exhaust taps the frame rail, especially on wash board roads because there is slight play due to the rubber connector to the mount. Have to figure something out for that later.

Crux
would they (Armorology) consider making one for a runner that they did not have in the shop? In other words did they make a jig to produce that back bumper? I just cannot send my rig for this work but totally dig that rear bumper design. Seems like it would be same same for all 3rd gens.
Your Runner is looking very cool and I am sure will really see a diff on the trails with all that protection!

Damn those look amazing!! I wonder if they would reconsider making these and shipping them truck unseen. I would really love to get one to replace my smashed TJM. Awesome looking work! The truck looks great!
