i love my Addicted Offroad bumper!!

ok, well i got a chance to test my new Addicted Offroad bumper today (accidentally i might add). we just got about 3 inches of snow, and i couldnt resist, so i went out to play in it. i love drifting in the snow, seeing what i can and cant do. well i was going a little fast, about 15 mph, when i threw the truck into a sideways drift to the right. there was a huge pine tree on the right side of the road, about 6-7 feet in diameter. anyways, i lost control and i slammed into the tree going about 15 mph. i nailed the drivers side of the bumper on the tree and i was like ah, , the bumper is probably bent beyond recognition. i get out, and what do i see? a few scratches. i was like, yes! it probably would have screwed up the entire front end of my truck had i not had the bumper on there. so, point is, i recommend this bumper to anybody, and if you dont have one, you should get one. oh and heres a pic of the damage for yall- ignore the snow on top thats not scratches or anything








again, i love this bumper, and recommend it to everyone. saved my rig from quite a bit of damage!


and a pic of the bumper just because

haha not much to see there, maybe a few dents in the bark the thing was huge. its probably kind of hard to picture, i was sliding with the drivers door leading, then i hit the tree, spun, hit the back on the opposite snow bank, then drove right out

I got rear-ended by a drunk driver in a prius which just scratched my trail-gear rear bumper I ordered from scotty. Can't say the same for the prius.
