Message: Got in my first accident last week (I'm 17) and plowed through the back of a Nissan Sentra destroying the rear half of his car- Damage to my Dakota w/ a full chrome ABX Brushguard- bent lisence plate. It didn't even smash the lights mounted on the lower cross bar. Oh, it was wet and my brakes locked- I'll drive slower. Whatever you guys get- front protection can save your truck- Thanks.
