Hey Westcoaster that pic looks like it was taken from the movie "Too Fast Too Furious" was it? I was just wondering. And yes I do like the bumper

Oh and i think someone has edited that first pic. The guy must have been going fast in order to get it up on its bed before not stopping and plus the thing he hit isnt even bent. Just my oppinion but I may be wrong!

It's got hinges, and pins.

Roadarmor might still have that style on their website.

Bit much for my tastes.

I have no idea... It was taken from the same site as the dump truck. btw I think it is a half ton (five stud hub caps)

Kudos to the builders of that frame the dumptruck hit. Its got to be amazingly strong to hold up under that kind of side impact. A big duptruck like that, travelling fast enough to flip like that, must have an incredible amount of inertial force.

That happens quite often from what I understand. This idiot didn't lower his, either. Smacked the sign two car lengths in front of me. You can just make out the raised bed over the sign. What you can't see is the poor guy UNDER the sign who was ahead of me.

I only have one question......How do you not know that thing is sticking way up in the air like that. I dont know but it seems like it would be a little top heavy going down the road at a pretty good speed.

If you look close you can see the bridge is bent. We had the same thing happen at work but with a smaller dump truck. Wedged the box under the bridge so bad had to dig under it to get it out, broke the driver's nose too.
