    I love the looks of my 4Runner's front end, but it seems like it is just begging to get damaged, lol.

    The last new vehicle I bought was a 2014 Ram 1500 and I installed a Westin HDX brush guard. A month later, a drunk guy hauling pallets lost a couple and the brush guard saved my front end from damage.

    Looking to install something on the front of the Toyota, but I haven't found any I like.

    Either the cost is outrageous or they stick out so far as to destroy approach angles.

    (Rant) Why the hell are bumpers and brushguards so damn expensive for 4Runners when I can buy a badass welded front bumper for a Jeep Wrangler on Amazon for under $300??? (end/rant)

    Has anyone found front end armor that is attractive, functional, and reasonably priced?

    And shouldn't a grille guard that fits a 2018 SR5 also fit a 2019 SR5??
