I wonder where the grill went?

That would really suck to hit one of those.

It doesn't look like the ram was Ram Tough....But he does seem to have a satisfied look in the first picture.

well it's interesting. I wonder if having a tubular bull bars would make much of a difference in the amount of damage to that truck?
Also, you can see the airbags deployed would bull bars prevent that?

Oh no bull bars?// Yuk? I guess if ya really need them, but I see so many trucks that have not even seen a deer in the distance or a mudpuddle for that matter and well they have all the crap on them. Personal preference and sometimes necessity. Like Northern Michigan driving at night.

Ok, so can we get this thing straight. We have two fold question here.

A. Will the bull bars lessen the damage in such a case.

B. Do they (bull bars) prevent the deployment of airbags.

Your comments are appreciated.
