Tell me about it, in Moab Todd made a few 2.25 inch wide 6 inch long gouges in the slickrock, one was nearly a half inch deep. The rest of us made it through pretty good (the front of the other hand...).
As for damage to the bumper without the trailer hitch, I don't think its would be very easy to do. I have NO damage to my bumper, my exhaust has been Mosied into a flattened D shape, and my spare has a few rubmarks on the rubber of the tire, but thats it.
I fact I've never heard of anybody doing any damage to their bumpers due to departure angle.
Does anybody have pictures or a story of it happening?
