They look like nothing more than fender skirt/guards to me. I'm sure it's attached to the frame where a bumper normally is.

Is that a kangaroo krusher?

It seem years ago if something had 700hp it was a 8 second dragster. Now it seems a 700hp car can barely break 11's.
Safety and electronics make today's vehicles HEAVY.

Looks like it may have been from 2013, or at least some continuation of the add campaign.

This gets me T. You can be talking to someone, with one of those other trucks, and they say "well it has 270 from the factory and my tuner gives it 200, so I'm pushing 470-500". OK then!
