Bumpers

[Aren Siekmeier]

We have used quick release pins on our bumpers for the last two years and really like them. A quick Google Image search will show you what I mean. We put an aluminum angle bracket, permanently attached to the bumper, on the top and bottom of a frame rail and drop the pin straight through (2 per bumper). The brackets take up all the up/down forces, while the shear strength of the pin holds the bumpers on. So the bumper mount is invincible, but they go on and off in a matter of seconds.

And I can't quite figure out how something can be figuratively painful...
