I had mentioned their durability from seeing the all out beating my
friends had made it through; he broke a headlight, bezel and bent the front
bumper taking out a 90's Caddy, then a few months later fell asleep at
80-85MPH.. and put it into a culvert.. Took a couple of end over ends.. and
walked away. Truck is still going to get rebuilt.. when time permits. The
biggest damage was the steering rack and the core support.
