How big is your bumper?

[jdonovan]

I am on short assignment in Australia outback. So far I didn't have a chance to actually test the bumper performance.

When I was last down there, <bad word> near everything had a heck of a bumper on it. Even smal sedans.

Now we were out in the middle of the NT where wildlife out numbers people by a long margin.

If you drive at night you _ARE_ going to hit wildlife. Bad enough that most contractors aren't even authorized to have cars.

The busses that move people about have huge roo guards, and metal mesh over the windscreen. They hit wildlife a few times a week. But the bumpers/mesh makes it a pressure washer clean up job, rather than replace parts.

It is an ARB bumper. They are an aftermarket supplier. Maybe the dealer put it on, but Toyota didn't.

Thanks for the clarification. Since all cars have them they looked like factory install.

Just don't suggest to your wife that she has a big bumper ......... you'll be on the couch for a month.

Depends on if you mean front bumpers or rear bumper...

Schedule 40 pipe and some weldelts make for a nice bumper or parallel parking assist!:thumbsup:

Well, this doesn't protect anything, but it sure helps when scraping the ice off the windshield. And a place to put tools etc. Comes in handy camping too.
