The theory is that by allowing a vehicle to become damaged easily (pop can) it absorbs impact thus protecting the occupants. Works good in theory. However in reality what happens is that an otherwise minor accident totals out the vehicle. It also makes the accident look worse than what it realy was.

I think I just saw an ebay add that might have been for that truck. It said low miles, good 4X4 decals and flawless bumper but didn't have a pic.. There was some mention about it getting new paint.
