I thought you were anti-flame? Nice try Schludwiller. Why are you anti-Calmini? (Calmini uses 3 bolts per side)
Now, this is exactly how my bumper looks.....after the first (and only) winch pull......using ONLY a 8K winch. Those round holes ain't round no more. Again, we will see in time (after someone gets the Calmini and REALLY uses it).
And I'm not too concerned about that Nissan crumple zone....it took this "heavy hit" from a red light runner fairly well (if you consider a Prizm a heavy hit?!?!?)
Just to think about the forces involved placed on that crumple zone. The prizm pushed my Xterra about 45 degrees from the impact point. And those are 11.5 inch wide BFG's (plenty of road grip there). Yes the frame horns were bent, but the crumple zone was not affected. The bend was behind the crumple zone.
