    i remember reading a story a few years back. A guy was on a work trip and had an animal strike with an ARB bumper. He would have been stranded in the middle of nowhere, or seriously injured if it weren't for the bumper. Could someone post a link if they know where it is.
    I spent a long time googling and searching here with no luck.

    This is the final step in convincing my wife this bumper is required.

    If you are talking about the story where he hit two cows, one direct and one glancing, I think the article was titled "Plate bumper........." I just read it the other day

    Never mind the cows.. in the few short weeks that i've had mine, i've noticed a huge reduction in kamikaze lane-changers while in chronically, seriously congested commuting traffic... well worth it for the much improved peace of mind so far in regard to that, alone.

    Well... It worked.
    Finished the install a couple hours ago. Still need the ARB fogs as well as new line for the winch. Looks great I'm pumped. and the wife wasn't very opposed at all, The occupant safety angle worked like a charm. image.jpg
