I was thinking the same thing. Trash the whole front bumper and put something on it that will not crumple at the sight of the first rock.

It's a disease. The Jeepster never did get restored... It sat in the garage until I was 9 before he sold it to make room for the '59 Corvette. After the Corvette, he added a 1956 GMC Suburban Carrier (A rather rare high end pick-up with a fiberglass bed), the 1966 Mustang GT Convertible that I previously posted pics of, a 1963 Studebaker Avanti (with factory supercharged V-8), and a 1961 Bubble Top Impala. He still has the Vette, the truck, and the Impala. The others were sold to make room for and pay restoration costs of several old boats that have become his latest passion.Quote:

Amen to that. One of the things that I loved about my Tacoma was the fact that it had steel bumpers. A day of thrashing around in the woods didn't leave them all torn up like plastic or painted bumpers.Quote:

I'm thinking of something smaller more nimble to eventually replace the suburban.. but it'll need to tow at least 5,000 lbs... (small cars or boats)
