Go to TYGER or get a general look!

Super fast delivery! Excellent packaging. They say presentation is everything and this is no exception. Very efficient use of the box, packaged like a finished puzzle so unboxing was a breeze! Installed quickly and looks great on my new truck! The only suggestion I have; I'm not a fan of the plastic plug on the lock, I don't think it will hold up well. I would replace it with a rubber and actually connect it to a pin. What can I say, worth the money. Waiting for the Tiger Bull Bar to arrive. If

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Strong and reliable protection

I wanted something that offered more protection for my pickup. I am currently using one from Bully which is a good solid piece and is holding up well. I wanted one that is a little wider. This one is definitely well built from thick steel. It has a good corrosion resistant coating that also provides a little extra traction when used to lift onto a truck bed. I use it without the included stabilizer bar as I often remove the hitch guard to tow a trailer and it doesn't rattle. Very happy with the

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Little things

Love it! Sturdy side stand with extra protection for a truck

UPDATE - 04/14/2020I was standing still at a traffic light today when a mid-life crisis winner around 25 hit me with a Corvette. 30 km/h. He jumped out and behaved as one would expect; attributing the damage to his "car I could never afford" to my negligence. Its entire front end looked like a busted soda can, but my truck escaped the test. The base of this "ram" was bent, but otherwise nothing that would keep it in the store for more than a day or two. AWESOME product! Installation was veryโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Negative impression

For my 2018 4Runner TRD Off Road. I have to cut off part of the end to fit closer to the car, the spare tire prevents a tighter fit. I think I'll do it this weekend, yay! Installation was obviously easy, just under 2 minutes. I think it took me 5 minutes to remove all the packaging. It's bold, durable, looks bold, looks good and is definitely functional. I am very happy with this purchase. -------------UPDATE ------------- 5 months later changed to "2" STARS I see rust on the bottom. Uponโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Goes away

Protects the bumper from damage!

I live in a small town in Texas where people LOVE to bump into their truck or car in the parking lot and just drive away. I tried using the bully bar stand but it moved slightly (and rattled) and they slammed it against the plastic on my bumper and dented the chrome on the bumper on both sides as it was too short (and sometimes hit my back door). ,. Well I saw and installed this product and in just 3 days 2 people have already used it. One drove away but hit it so hard it moved slightly to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Something else

Reliable and beautifully finished

That's a darn good move. I bought it to provide some rear protection as I've been hit twice by drivers who don't seem to understand the physics. The first time I had a bumper (on a Jeep Grand Cherokee) and was not damaged while another driver kicked the badge out of her BMW. Earlier this year, while driving my Golf R, I was hit again by a gentleman who had a penchant for crashing into other drivers. There is no bumper/footboard and the repair bill approaches $4,000. So I got this Tyger bit forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

A Jeep Wrangler Must Have - REAR DOOR PROTECTION

Jeeps that carry a spare tire on the tailgate often notice cars hovering too close behind them, possibly due to the misconception that that big mud tire is just a fluffy pad of rubber that protects Your own car from major damage. The irony is that at least some of the Jeep's shortcomings are true, as it's the first encountered by a vehicle (like a pickup truck) and therefore avoids the stock or steel off-road rear bumper entirely. a foot further. back and down. By then, the spare tire pressedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Appearance

Very frustrated trying to contact this company after this bumper was installed resulting in a car accident! Having no experience adding items to my newly installed hitch, initially when I added this to my 2" hitch, I wasn't aware that there were two design flaws that would affect my driving and parking safety. Design flaw 1: In its tightest position, this bumper extension sticks out so much that there is a large gap between the car's rear bumper and the beginning of where this product startsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • frequency
