If you're looking to beef up your Ford Explorer's front end while keeping things stylish, the Armordillo® AR Series bull bar is worth a look. I’ve had my hands on this piece, and let me tell you, it’s not just about looks—it’s built tough. The angular design doesn’t just add a bit of flair; it also brings some serious rigidity to the table. It fits seamlessly with the lines of your vehicle, making it look like it’s always belonged there.
One of the standout features is the skid plate that comes with it. This isn’t just for show; it’s designed to take a beating from rocks and road debris. I’ve been on a few off-road adventures where I’ve really put it to the test, and it held up beautifully. The construction is solid, made from angular formed steel that gives you the peace of mind that your front end is protected.
Installation? Super straightforward. It’s a bolt-on setup, and for most applications, you won’t even need to break out the drill. Just grab your tools, and you’ll have it mounted in no time. Plus, if you’re thinking about adding some auxiliary lights, you’ll appreciate the pre-drilled holes that make it easy to light up the night.
And let’s not forget about the finish. It’s powder-coated, which means it’s resistant to corrosion. So whether you're hitting the trails or just cruising around town, you won’t have to worry about rust ruining your vibe.
To sum it up, if you own a Ford Explorer from 2011 to 2018, the Armordillo® AR Series bull bar with the aluminum skid plate is a solid upgrade. It combines toughness with style, and you’ll feel confident knowing your ride is protected. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
