i pulled behind my friends 300ZX yesterday, and its amazing the bumper height difference. mine will totally skip over his bumper, and go right into his quarter panels and trunk and taillights, totally demolish his car if i hit it in an accident haha knock on wood :P never noticed how high the jeep libertys roofline and hoodline is. my hood by the windshield, is higher than his roof is on his 300 :)

the same exact thing with my one other female friends 08 Mazda 3 hatchback, totally miss her bumper, and go right into her hatch and taillights and quarter panels, probably totaling out the car
Image

also, i just saw a thread about how ARB bumpers are good shelves, and they are awesome for tools and parts and oil quart bottles!!, i couldnt find the thread today though, figures! but the ARB bumper is also a good snowman holder as well! i drove around for a few miles like this until he finally fell apart from the wind, got some laughs from other people :D

When I hit the Camry in the rear their bumper didn't touch anything until it hit the front suspension on mine
I took out the truck lid, tail lights etc.
The Police officer was laughing since the only damage to mine was the license plate cover I had on.

Nice 300zx your friend has, Ray. I sold one that was the same color before I moved to MN. It was actually my friends that moved to Thailand and it was kind of a junker...

Also, love the snowman! :D

troy that is a massive jeep, crazy! hahahahaha @ decapitator, it sure is! that thing will crawl right up that hood like nothing!

and Jon, speaking of that 300, it used to be nice, but it became a target for getting hit, its been hit 3 times already, the last 2 were a hit and run. someone scraped/dented the back left quarter while either pulling in or backing out of a spot. and pretty much t-boned the front left fender area behind the wheel while parked in his old apartment lot during a snow storm. its starting to rust in a couple spots, and hasnt had reverse in almost 4 years or so? hahaha so he gave up on it. its for sale now, he is waiting on this one kid for the money, it will be his first car and is really excited about it lol. he just purchased one of the new 2010 Kia Forte Koupes 5-speed, its pretty nice.

Y'know what the funniest thing is? That most cars & trucks you need a mechanics creeper to work comfortably beneath them. With this Jeep you need a stool :ROTFL:

Just how do you get into that beast Troy? better still how does your better half get into it?
I bet even the dog is scared to jump down from it.

"The trail, while not always easily recognized.. will often appear and become obvious.. behind the SFA Jeep"

Learned that one from watching OHV-KJ :P
