That poor FJ. Jee whizz. It looks like the bumper took the damage relatively well seeing as that truck was off the ground when it hit (momentum).

I hope it was his head...might knock some sense into him. I agree with the momentum comment. Stupidity seems to have an unstoppable momentum all it's own.

Forgive me, I'm no off-road expert, but it irks me to see someone abusing ANY rig that could've conquered the obstacle with a little more thought given to proper technique.

Granted, I'm learning that proper off-road technique isn't common sense, so I'll give doofus the ignorance pass, but still...

That is insane.
If he is going to be out that much with it, time to put some armor on that thing.
