yikes! Glad I have my KMA. =) Nice to know that I can smack down a F-350 in a 5mph frontal collision...not that I'd like to try it! =p

See the on-going build up of my '85 Jimmy! <a target="_blank" href=http://community.webshots.com/user/jekbrown>http://community.webshots.com/user/jekbrown</a>
 
Damn! Sounds like a 500 dollar repair bill for brushing your leg against the bumpers.

They just don't make trucks like they used to. We live in sad times, people.

Lets see that would mean in a parking lot, lets say a Grocery store averageing 200 cars and in Texas 1/2 of them would be trucks, and 1/2 of that new ones would mean 50 brand new trux....given 5 mph collisions at intervals of 3 minutes to find and engage...lets see in a little over 2 hours in my K-5 with MY built bumpers I could inflict over $400,000

dollars damage to them new wimpie wuss trucks

with zero damage to my K-5. no wait it would most likely knock dirt loose from my undercarraige and mar up my nice coat of rust I've built up on the bumpers...LOL

I flipped and rolled twice in my '90. The adjuster said there was $18,000 damage. The truck was only $15,000 new in '90. That was at 70 - 80 kph or around 45 mph. It was a ride and a half. I'm glad I was wrapped in steel rather than plastic.
