Metal-Tech FJ Cruiser Rear Tube Bumper
[MT-GSJ-32110]

This bumper is definitely sturdy, and it compliments the lines of the FJ. Installation is pretty straightforward if you’re not intimidated by doing a little modification of the stock plastic bumper cover (the black, curved corners are retained). I do have two complaints: 1) the two bolt holes on the bottom right side are impossible to access without relocating the stock exhaust. 2) the top two center bolt holes are too close to the tubular steel frame to turn the bolts into place. The bolt heads rub up against the frame. My solution (and my suggestion for MetalTech4x4) was to replace the standard hex-head bolts with hex-socket bolts. Overall, this bumper still deserves 4 stars as it’s strength, aesthetics, functionality, and affordability can’t be beat.
