Ok well maybe not attack, but it cracked the tree in half and pushed it out of the way with no damage at all.
I was running a trail with my younger son and we came across a tree that had fallen across the trail. Almost since I bought my FJ Cruiser I had run a heavy steel front bumper so with only a quick glance to see that the tree looked fairly weak & rotten I eased up and gave'er a push.
The truck snapped and went right out of the way and it was only as I was backing up that I remembered my recent change to the Aluminess front bumper.
A quick limp out of the truck showed me not much more than a rub mark that came off easily and no tweak, bend or other sign that I had abused the aluminnum at all.
Just goes to show that lightweight doesn't mean weak!
