I've even had a city police once hit the rear of my pickup mostly because he was not paying attention to my having to stop suddenly since a kids ball had rolled across in front of me and I saw a youngster who looked as though he was going to continue darting out after the ball from the front of a parked car. You're not going to damage the back of my vehicles with anything less than a bull dozer. That's just how I roll
Sadly it really seems like drivers are getting worse these days!

In any event a very nice bumper build. I doubt it will stop anybody from running into you but I like fine craftsmanship and people that try to do the right thing.
