My thought is that if you're approaching something beyond your approach angle, you shouldn't be moving that fast. My other thought is that although I don't think those lower bolts do a lot, I do think they may help reduce rolling of the bumper like that. Quite frankly though, if you hit something that hard, the sides of your fenders are going to be the least of your worries. And finally, that's a Disco and we all know the Xterra is better built! Um, yeah, that's it!
