Armor
Armor is anything that protects your 4Runner from common off-road or on-road damage. This ranges from the full-width front and rear bumpers to smaller low profile bumpers such as the well known C4 Fabrication Lo Pro or SSO. Protecting your rocker panels is incredibly important with sliders. We cover many bolt-on rock sliders here on the blog so if you are looking for a review or install, it’s likely you will find it here. Armor also includes skid plates that protect your engine, t-case, gas tanks and many other vulnerable areas including the differential, and shock mounts. For 4Runner armor mods, you can trust Trail4R.com.
