    Say what you will about bull bars but mine saved my front bumper from being crunched today. An 84' yota low rider backed into my front bumper today. It crumpled the bull bar and did no damage to the truck. Happy dude right now.

    A deer made a mess of my truck a couple weeks ago. IT's in the shop now and tomorrow I'll be installing the ARB. I am sad only because its the first bit of major damage since I bought it in '10.

    Not sure how much the ARB would have helped that!

    if I'd had the ARB I probably wouldn't have tried to get around it. Instead it broke my front light and bounced all the way down the side. And yes, it took a dump on my truck to finish with :(
    That being said, I put a solid 20miles/year on my truck of which is a fair bit of bush driving so I'm lucky I haven't hit a deer in the 4 years I've had the truck. BTW, thanks to everyone for the walk-throughs. I've managed a few mods and have a few more in mind. wouldn't have been able to afford them if I had to pay the install portion too
