    Why spend the time cutting it off when a rock will do it for you for free :rolleyes: Plus, outside of actual offroading steal bumpers save you from grocery carts and fender benders. I've been rear end 5 times since I've had mine. :rofl: they have their uses. Mine are used for hammock mounts too. To each their own my man.

    High clearance bumper is not needed with exhaust at stock location? The exhaust tip is right behind the wheel. It'll take some effort to damage the tip even if you try.

    Just counter productive. If you have a high clearance bumper, it usually means you need more clearance. Which means why would you leave something else low like your stock exhaust? It’s because the bumper was never purchased to actually wheel. Most of these pavement princesses will never come in contact with a rock. The main reason for purchase was “it’s cool”. :rofl:

    True! Didn’t think about that. You’re right, most of these trucks spend more time in the parking lot battling shopping carts than they do on the trails battling rocks lol

    Why is it I see all of these "overlanders" without a single scratch and a spotless undercarriage?

    Because Instagram. They “camp” once every 3 months and if they’re feeling brave, use the fire roads. Mostly just inside the state parks though haha

    Parked next to this 3rd gen at PetSmart in Murrieta this afternoon. I always see it parked at this store. Someone told me it belongs to a girl who works there, but I've yet to find out who yet. King suspension all the way around. It's sporting a new set of KMC wheels since the last time i saw it.

    Also spotted this 3rd gen parked outside Cost Plus World Market in Temecula this evening.
