Testimonial
"Christo, just wanted to write and tell you what about what a great bumper you build. We had a teenager on drugs drive into our yard and hit our Land Cruiser on the driver's side so hard, it got pushed 4 feet sideways into our van. The font corner of the kid's Durango was demolished. The Cruiser did suffer damage, but it was from the Durango deforming around the Slee bumper. Your bumper had no visible deformation from either the impact from the Durango or from the Cruiser hitting the van. Truly a stout bumper! Can't image what the Cruiser would have looked like otherwise."
