OK. This is a weird one.
Anyone with a front winch bumper without the hoops (particularly ARB, but any experience is helpful) notice any lack of front end protection?
All you guys who tend to smack into solid objects, please chime in.
I’m planning on adding a front bumper to my 2014 LC, mainly because all the deer in northern MN love me. This is not an exaggeration: I hit 4 in the first 3 years I was stationed here. And several since then, totaling the G truck once and earning me a reputation with my supervisors that did not want. They subsequently gave me a huge commercial-grade grille guard and while it worked to protect the truck, I found it to be a big, cumbersome eyesore.
I want to get the ARB deluxe bumper without the hoops. I like the cleaner look. And all the photos I’ve seen on their website make the one WITH the hoops look ginormous.
In my twisted way of thinking from a physics standpoint, any animal you hit *should* impact the bumper first, right? FYI: I got a ‘D’ in physics, so when chiming in, please explain your experiences to me as you would to a small child.
