Her story is that there was a metal bollard that she couldnt see due to my lift kit and she missed judged the corner and wham....sniff... sniff.... her next few words is what got me thinking "I'da thought it woulda been a bit more tuff..."

So my question to you guys is have you ever hit a bollard going 4mph and done $2100 worth of damage??

it was the 2 piece bumper, fender, underside piece, and readjusting the fender that now pushed into the pass door.
~6000 lbs of momentum into somthing that will not move... you are lucky it did JUST $2100 IMO.
