I was so impressed the way it held up the second time I bought the exact same set up. Also it bolts up without cutting or relocating the vaccum pump too.
Any post accident pictures showing how the front end/bumper held up?

I was pretty sure the factory bumpers were crap considering the 3 big dimples I put in mine doing light to medium off roading, but when I got the bumpers replaced and held one in my hands I was really surprised how little was there and how little they weighed
