    Sorry about your truck, that sucks! I’ve hit 2 deer traveling around 40-45 mph with my ARB on my ‘04. Only damage sustained was a broken bracket on one of the marker lights. I’ve pushed trees out of the trail with it, used the push pads to push a disabled ford pickup up a hill. Maybe it doesn’t have the best approach angle and you don’t have the best visibility of the winch drum during a recovery, but I’d buy it again. Just be sure to beef up your frame end caps if you’re going to do much winching! Look at my build page about half way down post #1 to see what happens when ya don’t!
