Try to find where they tow the CRV and take lot of pics, next send your story and pics to ARB like BrendonR already suggest you and finaly, pass your KJ on a frame master table, there is a great chance your front carriage or uniboby front frame band a bit , it's a 50mph hit! I know a Honda CRV his not a 2 tonnes truck but g....It's not a pillow!

PS: Glad you didnt get heart and the airbag didnt deploy :wink:

G...This ARB is well built! The CRX is just a 2000+ pds car but the all glass trunk offert no resistance to impact that's why you almost destroy all the rear end, 10 mph faster and you probably kill them.

Are you gone change your ARB or just repair it? What about just stick a " Road combat scare" sticker on it so nobody will stand in your way next time! :mrgreen:

2nd Step...Buy an ARB Bumper for my birthday (next February)

Dealing with drunk drivers can be scary. My mom was in Wisconsin, pulled out of my aunt's drive onto a seemingly empty road. She was rear ended by a motorcycle running from the sheriff. He was traveling at 120mph. It totaled her 2000 Impala and all he got was a broken arm and a bent fork.
