"She serves my South Austin ranch needs quite well"

The main reason for buying the rear bumper was those wings to protect the flares. They have saved the body from more than one cedar on the ranch. The bumper also did a very thorough job on a Nissan Maxima that double-parked behind me one day. Returning to my truck I did not see it at all (my fault), backing out I was looking for traffic not someone tucked under my bumper. The woman thought she would only be in the store a minute.
