I wonder if I fix a stainless steal nudge bar to my Prado , will it protect my bumper or not. If it is useless I will not fix it , also I don’t know if it will add weight to the car and make it heavy on the dunes or not . Anybody can give me suggestions?

it'll add slight weight, it'll protect u but not the point where u're totally safe.

Nudge bars suck
They'll decrease your approach angle , you'll end up bending the bar , if you're unlucky it'll end up hitting your hood & bending metal.
Personally would not do it.
this
really wasnt my fault...
You're better off removing the original extra nudge bar on the prado that sits ontop of the bumper...that'll do wonders for your approach angle.

Megamo -- I totally agree with you but still after seeing this item at Ace Hardware yesterday with amazing price in the sale I started thinking of fixing it may be it will add value
But
Thank you Kris for changing my mind. 8)
you have a valid point .

im glad.
i dont like them at all.
here's one for a prado. its too low.even if it's not too low , it'll eventually bend backwards against the hood...i wouldnt do it.i'd also remove the bit behind the nudge bar , the original "nudge" bar , in this photo it has "Prado" written on it , just above the number plate.that whole thing.think abt it , although you'll be left with the holes where it would connect...maybe you dont find it good looking without it.

al sharaan, I guess better than that you should go bumperless mate... or get the full steel bumber replacing the current one you have..

hehehehehe if you wana save the 4,000 dhs , then you better buy a jeep wrangler and enjoy paying thousands for mods and stuff.
if you wana buy it , then ask doc sure he will get it for you at a better price and also for installation i'm sure he will give you a very good rate with an amazing service.
