    You guys are ruthless. I'm hanging just to see if the OP has the kahunas to weigh back in. I drive over jeeps for entertainment.

    I have one. It’s made of steel and covered in a polyurethane shell. Not only does it look cool, but it’ll make sure my truck gets totaled by the insurance if I crash.

    Those BFG's look great on your truck. I had those on my last Tacoma and will likely change over to them on my current ride when I get new tires next year.

    oh the bumper took a hit as well just didn't go all the way inside the hood compartment. already looking for a way to get an arb out of this. the problem is it was his fault so i'm working with a company out of fla. more curious how theyy are going to replace the drl lights under the headlights. they are a xps-x package that the truck had on it. hopefully i can get led drl replacements.

    going about 15 per on a mountain gravel road with a 50 ft drop off. he was hugging the inside corner" cause he had his rear lockers on. he was out of town and i feel he thought he was on a trail. yes the hood and corner took a hit as well. bumper to be seen.

    C'mon guys, knock it off. I believe the OP's story of going 30. Here's a pic of his speedometer:

    1st it was 30MPH, then it was 15MPH, now it's 10-15MPH. What actually happened?

    i may have given the wrong impression of speed....we're both going about 15 per, so i mistakenly said combined it and said 30 mph...

    I once lost an argument to an engineer about this. His point of view was that two vehicles in a head on collision, each going 30mph, does not equal a 60mph collision. It equals a 30mph collision, just like if one driver hit a wall at 30. Has something to do with Newtonian physics...

    The issue is that the masses of the vehicles are different, if i remember right. If the masses were the same, then it would be equivalent.
