??? What's a NAZI rig?? That car sure don't look German to me? Looks Korean. 
And as far as"Built Ford Tough"....they sure didn't make that bumper. If it was a stock bumper he'd be in the shop looking at $3000 in repairs!
Ranch Hand!

It looks like a VW or Audi to me
 Oh yea without that cow catcher up front there would of been some expensive Ford damage 
I used to drive a lousy Jetta so I am still a little bitter about german cars

Yeah that's a '01 Jetta gasser.
My wife was in the right turn lane of a commercial driveway then up pulls this jetta to her left looking as if he's going to go straight across then traffic clears wife takes foot off the service brake then suddenly this guy in the jetta floors it hard right and didn't even see this 8,000 lb behemoth next to him 
Wife saw his flooring action by him she hit the brakes(she didn't coast more than 3' into the street) if you can see where the contact begins on his door you can see where the dip in the bumper is,he decided not to stop on contact and procedded to finish his car off,he appeared at first was going to drive off but then turned into the next driveway,my wife just backed up to where she was 3' before 
Police came out took the report/statements and said it basically occured on private property and they had no juristiction so he could not cite anyone.Off the record he told the wife and I that he would be at fault and cited if it occured on city roads
I sent our insurance & his (yes surprisingly enough he had insurance)about 25 detailed photos,from the scene and turns out my insurance said HA! no way to file a claim here and his did the same thing to him!!
So he has to pay out of pocket for the repairs 
Talk about Open and Close!!

I thought about buying those ranch hand bumpers but it looks like alot of weight up front.... Maybe it would protect my friend excursion from this
As far as beening built ford tough.. Well that flimzy so called bumper did protect the radiator..... It did damage the hood and grill as well. The excursion was pushed 3 feet back when a lot driver back up the trailer too far.

I've decided that Xochi was in cahoots with the gas stations to rid me of my bank account. I still and love her.

The full replacement RH weighs around 225 pounds which is probably about average,our bumper is 250 lbs as we went with the larger/heavier gauge steel for the brush guard and front 2" receiver.
We knew the day would come to where the bumper would be put to test and with last Tuesday's event the investment is paid for in full and then some

I usually have a can of gloss black Krylon for minor touchups after my kids occasionally tag the bumper with their bikes so the scratch from the car is no different tho I may leave it for people that want to check it out in May at the Rally
I'm waiting on a civil suit from the guy in case he wants to see my cards but little does he know I've already retained representation
