Re: Engine Bay Body Rips
the reason I came to the conclution of bumper problem is I've seen the Warn and I own the ARB...
1.the ARB gives lots of room for play...the first gen.Warn gives none...
2. mine..even with 1+ inches of play.. still pushes on the front body hard enough to cause noticable damage to the body and wheel wells(see photos)
3. the original poster said he rock crawls but does not fly
4. he also stated he has a Warn bumper with no play room
5. he also put his truck in flex on a ramp in the driveway...causing enough flex to push the bumper into the body...AND CLOSE the seem where it "ripped"
I do fly mine..I crawl...swim...I baja hard on washbourd trails and have smashed the wheel into the wells hard enough that if a problem was there ...it would surely have reared its ugly head by now...
by simple prosses of elimination I figure the bumper pushes on the sheet metal just enough..over time.. to tear the metal where it is designed to bend....
what I have never seen is a stock...even flying ... truck have this problem....it's always with a tight fitting bumper....
Hey Doc..your All-pro is pretty damn tight too ...is it not???
