I am hoping I can even get this installed by an upfitter in my area. They have no authorized dealers in Wisconsin! If I can get it installed for a reasonable price (given the complexity of the install I fear it will cost me dearly...) I will be able give a better review. But for now it is in a box....
The pictures online make it seem like the mesh is thicker and not transparent, however the mesh is pretty much see through. The outside of the grille is nice looking but the mesh really should be thicker and not see through. Shipping took several more days than it should have but that might have been an issue with the shipper. I'd give a better rating, but the mesh should really be thicker.
This fitted my 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor perfectly. Direct bolt-on. I did remove the top bar as it covered the headlight indicator. Thanks for shipping internationally to South Africa.
Overall quality of RTX is excellent! With that said, cover was delivered damaged but Jimmy has gone above and beyond to make it right. A+ customer service after the sell! Will definitely by from Armordillo again!
I think this bull bar is beautiful , is extremely sturdy and instructions are easy to read providing you have half a brain cell.
Only reason I can't give 5 stars is because the rails have a slight decline because the holes are too tall.
This bull bar has a nice look, and unlike other Bull bars for the Frontier, this one isnt interfering with my proximity sensors or cruise control sensors. While the light bar is small, it throws off a lot more light than I expected for a small light bar. Installation instructions were a little challenging but decent for the most part. I saw where some had posted about the bar being open on the backside. It is not. It’s fully enclosed. At least for my 2023.
My only complaint would be related to welding splatter. There are a couple tiny weld splatter spots on my bar. Not big, but noticeable. I knocked them off and had to touch up the bar.
Outside of that, a nice affordable piece that adds a good look to my truck.
Great guard for front of F150. Had to remove grill to get the upper support mounts installed but overall installation was easy. Love the look of my truck even more.
I had an issue with my bed cover and Armordillo resolved very quickly and and professionally. I would highly recommend them and they will receive my future business.
In time and a good quality, time was especially important for me because I was traveling from MX.
Armorillo thinks mighty much of themselves to smear there name all over the front of guard. Looks like crap. They should pay the customers for advertising. Put a little emblem tastfully in the corner
The part was shipped fast and immediate response to my question/concern.
I will definitely order parts from Armordillo again!!
I was able to pick this up on sale during president’s day at a phenomenal price. It makes my truck look so much cleaner, easy to use and took under an hour to install. Highly recommend!
I can't say enough good things about all the help I received from this company. I had a problem thru Amazon ordering this exact product, and Jimmy at Armordillo went above and beyond to help us. We ended up returning the Amazon product and buying straight from the company. We are very happy.
This pre-runner guard fitted perfectly on my 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.
It was easy assemble and fit.
Thank you for fast shipping to South Africa.
Should you require foto's you are welcome to email me.
Thanks

I like the piece. It looks great on my F150. It’s well made and sturdy. But there are some quality control, hardware and packaging issues, and a design flaw (IMO).
1. The hardware issue is with those horrible allen key bolts used for securing the unit to the truck bed. I ended up buying hex head bolts because trying to tighten those included bolts was not fun.
2. The quality control issue I had was with the smaller decorative bolts on the side..half of them were twice as long as the others … for NO apparent reason from what I could see.
3. The main issue I had was with the packaging. While it arrived in what appeared to be ok condition, when I opened it I found a number of gouges in the finish as well as one corner of the third brake light housing was deformed. I ended up having to scotchbrite the entire piece and spraying it with truckbed coating to get the finish uniform. The deformed corner of the housing I couldn’t fix, so I guess I just have to deal with it.
4. Lastly, what I call a design flaw. I feel there should be holes drilled to allow the wires for the brake light and other lighting to be routed through the bars instead of having to zip tie them to the outside… would look much cleaner.

Install took about 4 hours, even though it says it’s a 60-90 minute install time. Other than hard to use instructions I couldn’t be happier with how it looks on my truck. Worth every penny!
