I know I'm a horrible person for thinking this, but am I the only one here who is secretly begging to see some pictures of this excursion in a head on collision with a honda?

With the winch, it weighs about 320 to 340 lbs. Sagged my V code springs 3/8". The winch is 140lbs.

I just put on new tires last month. Went up from 265 to 285. I will stay there for a while. Oh, well.

It's funny that you mention the Honda. I found out first hand that the OEM bumper is a piece of tin foil. My brother has a small Honda SUV. One day at our mothers house, he backed into the front bumper at the drivers side. He hit the corner of the truck with his spare tire on the back. No damage to his widdle SUV. It was sickening. My Excursion had $2800 in damage. Headlight, bumper, valence, brackets, fender, all destroyed and had to be replaced. The bumper folded like it wasn't even there.

After that, I stayed away from Honda's like the plague. Vicious little creatures. Sorta like squirrels with wheels.

Now I think I am a bit safer from them.

Nice BFG A/T's Tbenks lol.

Yeah it would be nice to see how that bumper handles a honda lol. My rear bumper is kinda high though, if I got rear ended by a car it would probably just make the car a convertible lol.

Actually i've been having urges to drive my truck ontop of a car... lol

I used to run em' back in the day.
Good ol' 33" BFG A/T's lol.
Its surprising how much less you get stuck with swampers though!


Man.. my truck used to be an ugly pile of crap.
Now its just a pile of crap, it had a paint job.
You know what that means, all one color, still crap. Lol.
