    Tax write off purchases; company probably bought them last month and are pushing them on every county/city and private company vehicle.

    Really? Looks like it's still almost completely intact to me while the rest of the truck is toast.

    Judging by the lack of 'R' cutouts in our usual locations that was not a production bumper. It was a customer-welded DIY bumper we offered many years ago so theres no telling the quality of welds and other work that was actually done on it. Additionally I see there are still the factory tow point loops under the frame rails meaning that customer also discarded our lower mounting bracket that ties the lower part of the bumper in with the 4 tow-hook bolt locations under the frame rails which would be a large contributing factor to it rotating backward into the grille/radiator area. Nonetheless, looking at the damage on the truck I don't think another bumper without full hoops would have held up better to whatever accident that was involved in.

    I wonder if it was missing that brace/attachment point, it buckled backward and to the side a lot more than my relentless did in a similar crash. Mine had the brace thankfully but it also had predator bars and unfortunately they did even more damage since the whole bumper still came into the fender/core support area and smashed the bars into the top of the fender and headlights. Either way the truck would have been totaled I'm betting even if it had the stock bumper. It's not a knock on your product, aftermarket bumpers save for ARB have no crash structure, we know that in anything more than a wheeling accident (tapping rocks and skidding around/over shit) it's more likely to transfer the shock back to other stuff. FWIW that truck I posted was rusty too, maybe the whole frame horn ripped off.

    I'm definitely one to admit a mistake.

    So I had planned to run an HDMI cable from my CNC plasma table to my TV so I can use it as a secondary monitor.

    Cable arrived, Amazon Prime.

    Go to check my cable run...I overlooked the fact that my laptop has no HDMI out :facepalm:

    Just assumed it had one cause every other laptop I've had or have has one. Have to dig the other laptop out of the shed now :bananadead:

    Could always do the wireless share method.

    Good on you for getting the larger model.

    Just make sure you use super squints.

    I'm at that age where all of the cheaper shit I bought as a teenager just drives me crazy for being cheap, so now I fork out for the good stuff whenever I buy new power tools.

    Wireless is great for that stuff.

    I put Federal Signal lights on our service van and it blows everything out of the water. It’s so freakin’ bright. Their LED optic technology is actually patented.
