I have one in the front too

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I got the trailer hitch option on my FJ even though I don't plan on towing anything just to protect my rearend from city parkers bouncing off my bumpers. So far it has been good.

Cool i got tired of being rear ended

(My neck vertabrae aint so peachy anymore.)

so, i took the rear bumper off my truck
and bolted on an old pressure treated 8 x 10 beam
that used to be underwater.
and used it as a battering ram on many occasions

One morning I was driving to work on rt 24 doing about 70,I feel a thump in the back.
A nurse just got of duty from doing a double shift fell asleep at the wheel,and slamed into the back of my GMC with a pintle hook.
Her little Nissan got totaled,but I know it saved her life.

me too! Lots of people ask me why I have that. It is very handy for moving boats around the yard, holds my cooler rack and keeps fools off my front bumper.

JR is right about the shin though...damn that hurts at night when you can't see it.
