Contact your Dealership for more information on what your service plan allows.
Can I claim my bumper through the insurance?
Many Insurance companies do cover 4x4 accessories; contact your Insurance Company for more information.
Do your prices include courier cost?
Unfortunately our prices do not include courier cost; we will quote according to distance and weight. Clients are also welcome to collect or make use of their own courier services. The best option would be to contact us for our nearest affiliated fitment centre, where you could buy your Wildog product directly.
Where are your sidesteps mounted on my vehicle?
Wildog “sidesteps” are heavy duty rock sliders which mount directly to the chassis.
Bumper cut or not?
Most of the Wildog products are full, bolt-on, replacements.
The new Ford T6 Face-lift / T7 / Wildtrak / Everest is a grill cut. The Toyota Hilux Legend/Raider range is a grill cut.
The Amarok front bumper is a stiffener cut (The winch plate replace the stiffener on the chassis)
The Fortuner rear is a bumper cut.
Will there be a gap between my vehicle body and bumper?
Yes there is a small gap between the bumper and the body, we use a door type automotive rubber to fill the gap. Wildog Accessories has a smaller and much more consistent gap, following the curve of the vehicle, than most of our competitors– this is to ensure independent “flex” between the body and the chassis. Because you are replacing the OEM plastic parts with much stiffer steel parts, you’ll need to allow for this “flex” movement during articulation.
Does the bumper have jacking & recovery points?
Yes all Wildog front replacement bumpers come standard with jacking & recovery points.
Are the Wildog rear bumpers spare wheel compatible?
Most rear bumpers are spare wheel compatible but rather ask our sales team on your specific model. Spare wheel carriers cannot be added later on the standard rear bumper. This need to be ordered before we start manufacturing.
Can my Rear bumper be fitted with two spare wheel carriers?
No, only the Land Cruiser Pick up 79 is compatible with two carriers.
