This thread makes me giggle!! I love y'all!!
I came out of a 98 CR-V manual (which I dearly love) it had power windows, HVAC, power locks and I put a DVD player in the dash. I took it places most CR-V have never thought about being. I am happy with the "New Tech Options" on my Badlands...
I would love to have this bumper for our farm duties.
I do find my ditch lights have saved me from deer standing close to the road and I think the Summit bumper would be able to take a deer hit if one occurred. I have definitely been sideways missing deer so save some of our vehicles.
I was pretty sure the B Bow was just snake oil. A member on here had one for a great price local to me. I picked it up and installed the brace.
I can say it was not snake oil and it indeed stiffens the body up and I have less squeaks and rattles.
My 1997 F350 4x4 7.3L diesel 4dr long bed gets 12, 12 on the hwy, 12 in the city, 12 empty, 12 with a 2 loaded 2 car trailer it just get 12. I definitely agree with your around 15 mpg.
Bronco Badland 2.3 7mt hardtop 19.7mpg still mostly stock.
Understood, originally email was 12-14 weeks, no communication after that. My concern was about making sure that it was legitimate, and did not waste money. Which we have witnessed happen in the aftermarket community.
I appreciate the replies. I would rather support a small shop and have a quality product. With no communication just started to seem suspect. Sounds as if my experience is no different than yours.
