Bull Bar & Rear Bumper Guard Recommendations

[nutshellml]

Unfortunately, I have to put on a Bull Bar and Rear Bumper Guard on my 07 GX470. Can anyone recommend any good manufacturers? I see some on eBay but not sure of the quality. Any specifics I should look out for??

Thanks all!

I purchased front and rear guards manufactured by WAAG. Front Runner (P/N 18368 - about $400) and rear bumper (P/N 16799 - about $275) are quality products, and provide protection without a steroidal appearance. WAAG may not show these P/Ns as fitting GX's later than 2005, but only because they haven't confirmed the fit. Both installed on my 2008 without any problems. One exception is if you have a bumper hitch installed, you will need slightly longer bolts that those provided with the rear bumper. The WAAG rear bumper, towing hitch, and tow hook all share the same 2 mounting bolts on one side, and a 50mm long bolt is required to reach through all 3. Be sure to use a grade 8 bolt, as softer fasteners aren't adequate for towing.

What is your need for them? If it's to protect the bumper from minor hits in parallel parking situations, i'd avoid the tiny A-Bars (like the one i've got on my Rx400h) because they're held on at only a few points and probably won't protect much. If you get the wrap-around type it might be a little better with protection.
