Big aftermarket off road bumpers are a great thing to add to your truck/jeep. They can protect your vehicle, and even you from damage or injury in an impact with objects, other vehicles, or wildlife. Big bumpers help in a crash too...
I had a "Ranch Hand" bumper on my F250. It took out a deer with zero damage to truck. However, I wanted to mount a winch, so a couple years later I sold it (to an INGO member) and changed it to a Road Armor bumper.
Then, before I could get the winch, that one got tested big time. I had a seizure coming home from a VA appointment about 3 years back. took out a telephone pole, and went into a seed company warehouse where the truck was buried in tons of soybeans. They did take me to the hospital, but just to check me out from having the seizure. I would have been hurt pretty bad without that big bumper.
Snapped the telephone pole like a twig.
Powerlines came down and cut off my camper shell.
Seed company about a mile down the road.
Bumper survived. (saving me as well)
