    They say that, but the rest of the bumper bends with it. I have first hand experience with a bent all-pro front bumper.

    Well im in the market for a new bumper and was considering all pro, Just need to be sure what kind of quality im getting before I pull the trigger.. The demello bumper for the 2nd gens looks really nice and sturdy, but From what I read in one of their threads it wont be released until next month

    From what I have been told, their philosophy is "clearance first, so you don't have to hit your armor".

    But personally, for me, armor that doesn't hold up well to impacts is oxymoronic...it's like MINI making an SUV.

    My ARB has been into rocks/trees/other vehicles/brick walls

    it has taken every bit of it and asked for more without so much as a dent

    I've hooked straps to it and yanked living trees out of the ground

    It's thick, heavy and made to take abuse (thats what she said) so you dont have to replace parts...or it

    I just loosen the bolts on mine and adjust by myself. Did it last sunday after the Waynoka meet. I slammed into the trough between two big ass dunes and bottomed out. Bent my POS factory TRD skid and pushed my ARB Bumper up about a half inch.

    FWIW, I have experience with ARB over in Afghanistan on our NSTT's and they handle abuse VERY well. Relentless and ATO make Bomb proof products as well.

    I was just proving the point that you're a hypocrite because you did what I did, but worse. And IIRC, you called me out on a product review thread (and about another product!), not a for sale thread either. And I owned up to it and admitted it was wrong. I guess the rules don't apply to you?

    In all honesty, I appreciate that you're using your knowledge to disprove some of the things that AP is saying, especially because I am one who has one of their bumpers!

    But like on what you called me out on before, and what you're doing now, is that there's a time a place for everything. You shitted on this thread. How do I know that, because after you look back at this thread, even after your "FACTS," the OP still only responded about what he initially inquired about, a suspension question.

    IMO, you should probably start your own thread in the AP vendor section so that when people want to know about your information (again, which is helpful info), they can look there. In fact, I would even follow that thread. But when you constantly shit on irrelevant AP threads, you are indeed ruining a sale. Up to your response, the OP was already made up on the AP bumper, and this thread was a question about his suspension for when he'd would put the AP bumper on.

    Oh and about the $90 bumpers, I thought you learned your lesson when Sara proved you wrong the last time you tried making a claim about them.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/123637-non-hardcore-skid-plates-6.html#post2401394

    Look, you have extensive knowledge on a lot of things, just use it appropriately :)

    The dude in this thread got his answer, and this wasn't a for sale thread. Oswego didn't shit in the thread at all.

    this topic makes my LOL..

    i'll only share my experiences from using the AllPro bumper. i've had this bumper for just about 2 years now. never had any issues with the installation/fitment (which i did myself). never a problem the powder coat finish or the functionality or dependability of the AllPro bumper. i have abused this bumper on the rock, in the desert, and around my property pulling up stumps with my Smitybilt 10k winch that is attached the the AllPro bumper. on the trail i have used my winch more times then i can count and never a problem with the AllPro bumper..would i recommend the AllPro front bumper to anyone? yes i would

    pics worth more then a thousand words? well here you go suckers..just to show the bumper on the trail and to show everyone i do wheel my taco
