No worries about the bumper....... that nice "SMACK, griiiiiiiiiiiiiind" sound you heard is the OEM front tow hook. With only 1.5" of lift in the front and stock-sized tires, I don't enjoy the same level of clearance that Dave, Mike, and Kasia do. You should see some of the gouges I left in those rocks when I climbed that obstacle with no lift <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I'd like to accept this award in honor of Isuzu owners everywhere that aren't afraid to polish some steel to get down the trail. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Hopefully by this time next year I will have more lift and bigger tires and won't be in the running for a second award.

Oh, and Smiley..... Miss Kathy can rest assured that the "Stairsteps" in those clips is a completely optional obstacle. But I have a feeling you'd want to give it a shot after driving all this way <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
