Yep one of the best reasons for an aftermarket bumper (other than tire and travel clearance, approach angle and Mall Points) is getting a little bit of front end protection for an animal or Uber-Eats strike. The Fat-Lip on my 2000 LTD was useless, too. Now I couldn't care less what Dasher backs into me, as they will be getting a little tattoo from the d-ring hoops on my bumper.
