this was at about 20 kmh. how did i not see him you may be asking i was looking left at the intersecting lane coming off the road which actually goes up a hill to my left behind directly behind where im standing so in a quick glance left he pulls through the two handicap stalls and crack!!!!!! the sum total to my truck..... i need to go get a can of black paint ....
oh and he drove it away says he prolly wont go through ins prolly in his best interest but i offered to give him a lift if he needs to pick up parts lo....
moral of the story get a steel bumper lol

Nice shot! That tire does have a good angle to it. Your bumper has now passed the test.

Nice. Doesn't look like you have any damage.

I have been rear ended three times in this dakota, but they were all low impact, like 3 or 5mph.

I have never had to make a claim. Its all due to the trailer hitch tubing preinstalled under the bumper.

Unfortunately...the stock front bumper cover is play dough....good thing you had that tube bumper.

I have to ask though...what is protecting the coolant resivour/washer fluid resivour with your setup??? It must be exposed...no?
