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

[VX KAT]

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.

Looks like yours is the "GoRhino" step bumper. I've got to admit, I like the look of the GoRhino bumper much better.

The big difference between the GoRhino (and others like it) and the Superbumper is the giant rubber donuts you can see that go around the outside of the stinger, as well as 4 big solid rubber plugs inside the stinger that you can't see. The inner rubber plugs compress up against the hitch pin in an impact accident, to further absorb it's energy.

The whole design is intended to absorb around 20 mph hit without transmitting any forces to the frame and up to the occupants….and thus no whiplash….and secondarily, to possibly prevent any physical damage to the back of the vehicle.
While I definitely like that it can prevent some physical damge to my VX, I like it even more for that 20mph or so protection …..to ME.
(and no I don't work for the company )

I was thinking about that too…I wish they did too. But I bet they can't get the same protection at the outer extremes of the bumper if they made it wider since the protection only really comes from the vertical part of stinger. Don't think they can get the energy from the outer edges channeled into the center good enough.
