    Well my wife decided to borrow my truck to go to the library and she got called to the front, some eye witnesses told her some lady hit the truck and took off....she called me and I thought she was joking but she started crying....anyways long story short...I'm thinking about getting steel bumpers and tail light guards do you guys think it will prevent it from getting damaged the next tome a little old lady decideds to back in to my truck with her red suv.

    I usually park wayyyyy in the distant part of the parking lots and walk, not only is it good for my truck but it's good for my waist line. It could also save someone's life.

    LOL... mall armor is a term used here to describe light duty off road protection. I don't go bouncing off trees or crawling over rocks with what I have on my truck, but I have blasted through shrubs and underbrush, crushed a split rail fence or two, punched out old overgrown logging/cottage roads, crossed creeks, and braved the wilds of WalMart parking lots. Compound is my friend.

    Click on my build in the signature and there is a list of what's on the truck.

    As for the bars:

    Yeah I mean I thought about all the possibilities of what could happen, but we will see how this goes. If it gets bent in hopfully it will take most of the hit. Becuase when the lady hit me she left a deep indentation and it left me without my truck for a week to get it fixed. They installed a all new bumper I want to protect it as best I can.

    The little old lady could be one of our moms. I did show respect while she :angrygirl:... and blamed me.

    It's all good.
