Front bumper air dam

[revrnd]

These bumpers look extremely heavy duty but I would question how well the frame would hold up in a collision with five cows. At 2000lbs each they should practically stop the truck dead. The engine may not be damaged but wouldn't the frame be twisted so that an accurate alignment would be next to impossible to acheive? The truck certianly never be the same. They do look awesome though!

I know what you're thinking, but I'm pretty sure the front portion of the frame in designed nowadays to be part of the 'crumple zone' unfortunately.

2000 pounds??? Don't think so.

I don't know the weight of a cow but I figure it is pretty heavy. Even if it were to be 600-1000 lbs the damage would be pretty severe in a head on collision at 30mph. Place five in front of you and I doubt the cows or truck would survive and you wouldn't be feeling too good either, giant bumper or not.

Bull yes, heifer or steer no.

Yep. Would definitely trash the vehicle at either size!

I cut mine down 2 inches. Made it look 100% better.

Nice improvement! What did you use to make the cut?

[MotionMan]

I used an angle grinder, no special blade, just took small cuts. It melts the plastic a bit but when it cools it comes right off. I just cut at the molded contour free hand, it needs to be cleaned up but I am really picky, no one could notice. I kept the angle end in tact to keep it strong, that's the end by the tire. The side view is better now, it just hung too low before.

I monitored my temps transmission and water for months during summer and winter before pulling mine and putting my winch bumper on. Did not make a bit of difference towing or not even on hottest days.IMG_0473 -1.jpg

 

Great bumper, What brand is it? could you post a couple more pics?

 

Still relevant to this thread ....... kinda ...... sorta ....... awww hell, it just looks good

no mo dam (the bugs should reduce air flow under the truck)

I took some time the other day and cleaned the cut on my front valance. Every time I walk up to my truck from the front I notice how much better it looks now. Now it is perfectly straight. All my darn pics are upside down. I'll have to take a better one.

I think it looks better trimmed, rather than removed
