My VX on Superbumper.com's Facebook page...

For those of you unfamiliar with this product, it is way better than a standard Bully step bumper. I hope I never need it, but I am glad I have it.

I should send him an updated picture. My cladding looks terrible. I have since repaired my cladding fade with Showroom New.

That makes 5 of us now running the Superbumper! (I sold my 18" to VXSport so he's #5)
Well actually our model is called the "Sparebumper" and the one with the trailer ball is called the "Superbumper".

I know Jeff's website is definitely overly busy and crowded, makes it look cheesy, but the bumper is great.

In just 2 years I've been hit twice now with it on…once they veered left and missed it completely and took off the left rear quarter area (other truck, not my VX) , and once just a light tap, cracked the black powdercoat a tiny bit….so I'm a big fan!

But some day I'm gonna get outta the truck and see a nice horizontal hole in somebody's grill/radiator

oh and BTW…he'll negotiate on price a bit, so call him. Mention how many VXs have it now blah blah blah...

When I have it on the VX, I'll never get hit. The second I take it off, some goober will crunch my rear cladding. So I just consider it superstitious insurance ... a wise investment. Maybe if I add some 'Ldub' spikes, it'll work even mo betta.

The concern, if I recall correctly, is that anything in the hitch that gets hit will transfer all of the energy of the accident directly to the frame of the vehicle making it much worse than a normal rear end collision. With nothing in the hitch, the truck and bumper compress as intended by the manufacturer to help prevent injury to the passengers, not the vehicle.

The gorino sounds like it does great for protecting your vehicle, but I would imagine a hard rear end collision would transfer much more energy to the passengers than without.

Perhaps the superbumper guy can modify his design a bit to match what others like.

I like the look of my sparebumper, but I know some might not. I think it looks like "Thor's Hammer". Adds to the look of my truck.
