I've always wondered how much protection these really were. You're saying that they are just "VisMods", right?

The tail light guards have not prevented my tail lights from breaking yet since I've had my truck on and off road but I sure feel better with them on there than without. I got into an accident recently and my brush guard absorbed most of the damage so i hope the tail light guards do the same if the time comes.

I don't for see the guards protecting much as they are anchored with two oem screws and braced against the plastic housing. I own a pair and my passenger side was some how still broken.

The green Guards look better with more supports. I counted 7 in the pic compared to 4 for the Steelcraft. Who makes the one on the GREEN H3?

Those three look the same to me. Same number of cross bars.

I think mine are Steelcraft and got them the same time I go the Steelcraft brush guard winch mount from Teka.
That was the only source I could find in 06.

I got some that look like that and have saved the taillight from light brush and limbs.
However if you pull on one it can get loose.

case in point
stopped on hillside and friend walked behind the H3 and grabbed one as he was sliding. Pulled it out part way but I re-attached it.
You have to adjust the side towards the door to keep it from hitting.
I put them on my 06 and moved them to my Alpha in 08.

I bought them for appearance, my tail lights are scratched to hell. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't very much if you backed into a rock.

And I'm pretty sure a bullet proof vest wouldn't do much good if you got shot with a 50 cal either lol [emoji6]

I would rather be wearing one and bruised than have a front-to-back access hole. They are out there now.

I'm sure you'll do more than just bruise even if you wear a .50 cal rate vest...all the energy and ass behind that bullet would really messed you...if I was to get shot by that round I'd rather get shot and be done with it...be death than chancing any current protection.
As for dragon skin...that thing is awesome...for the times I saw in action...really expensive...and hard to come by...

I would have continued believing that being hit by a .50 BMG would liquify your internal organs and pulverize your bones into dust, but...
Since recoil is an equal and opposite reaction kind of force, how does anyone who shoots a Barrett ever live? The buttplate is a much smaller contact point than the impact spread over a torso-sized chicken plate. I'm sure it would knock you around and leave a bruise, but it can't break the laws of physics.
