I'm thinking about just going straight to steal bumper  . Maybe my subconscious was making the move easier.

Also, what in the world is a “rubber traffic pole”...and why did you think it wasn’t solid...in a parking lot?
Small word of advice: get out and inspect it next time because I would imagine assuming a line/rock/water on the trail will result in you losing your vehicle to immense damage, or worse.
Stay safe.

Thanks, dad.

Would you rather leave an undamaged vehicle for EMS to drag your lifeless corpse out of, or climb out of a completely destroyed vehicle with minor injuries? Just look at what happens in a Nascar wreck. Those cars are completely obliterated by design because that's how you protect the driver.

Nope. Wrong.

Correct. The car complied with the standard, but nobody seems to understand the regs. They seem to remember the old pre-crumple zone standards of the 70's. The link above is a PDF to the reg.

There are plastic welding machines out there. Body shops regularly use them. That sounds like a perfect job for one. I have damaged nearly every area on my bumpers. It’s not a show vehicle.

When I was a teenager driving a beater, I used to run over those things all the time. Fun as hell hearing that sound.
Thwap! Thwap! Thwap as you hit them head on.

What’s interesting is that in my 2011 runner, I hit 4 deer and a turkey. The deer at speeds from 5-25, all of them made the plastic shell bumper cover toast. The turkey, different story, flew off the roost and lit in my lane while I was going 70! Ouch that was whacky! That was $5200 in plastic repairs and I had no turkey dinner! He was mashed!
So guys, stuff happens! We’ve all done stuff we’ve regretted!

in this case, i don't think even a steel bumper would have helped him. Actually, I believe if he had a steel bumper, he would have had more damage than the plastic bumper.

Then CRAAACK. My front bumper was messed up.
Luckily a little duct tape did the job.
Anyone have a spare silver Front lower bumper setup?  Thanks in advance. |
Zip-tie stitch it in the meantime.

If anyone ever watches dash cam videos on Youtube, you would swear that the average driver is dumber than a box of rocks.
