Ironman gear has been on my rig for a fair while now and been put through its paces. I have touched it up with some black spray paint a few times thats about it. It is pretty dented but holds up well. Rate it highly

AJ fears she may actually find your wife and drop him off permanently. (so she is free of him, no other insinuation should be placed on that comment). He thinks his wife got stressed that she has missed the opportunity....[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

bushskinz is good gear but that is just the front guard, add the other 2 guards and like arb it is a lot more expensive. not sure about the others but the ironman comes with all 3 thats why I went down that route, I believe its good value for money2012 4dr JK wrangler, 3.5" AEV lift, AEV mags, 35" muddies, front/rear arb bars, tjm sliders, pioneer platform and some other goodies

Thickness of steel is only one part of he strength equation, a thinner (lighter) bash plate made out of a higher grade steel may well be stronger, cheap plates are likely made out of cheap steel......... Just sayin!

Then compare 3mm and 4mm in the same lower grade. The 4mm is 33% stronger than the 3mm.
So a 3mm in a higher grade is 7% stronger than a 4mm in the lower grade. Then there is the extra weight issue of the thicker material...

Yes they will protect, but They are usually distorted & very difficult to get bolts back in, after service.
The BUSHSKINZ 4mm plate for the 120 is an absolute ripper!!!!!!!!
It is one of the best design & strongest toughest bash plate I see on Prados to say the least.
$379? On eBay. The electroplating looks great too. Long lasting tough, no rust.
Other plates are painted & scratch & rust easily.
Mine has been hammered for years & has not got a dint in it, merely lots of scrapes, it tested & proven.
Kieron is very hard to get a hold of & it's not helping his business, but he makes the best plate for the 120!
If you buy off eBay you will get it!
That's my $400 worth!!!
