yup...thats all it is...personal preference .
I built mine because nobody made one that I liked....well.....that and....I hit a 18 foot tree, that was 6 inches around....stock bumper didn't like that very much...lol
I'll keep the story as short as I can:
exceeding the speed limit(alot),..lost control, slides sideways for a couple hundred feet, went off road(sideways), got straightened out at the last possible nano-second,.. hit tree...the force of the impact snapped it in 3 places.
Just to get an Idea how fast I was going,...notice only 3 tire marks....the centrifugal force had one of my 39.5" tires off of the ground for a couple hundred feet...lol
The police report (CSI type people investigated) estimated I was doing over 120mph when I lost control,...I was sliding sideways for a long time at over 90mph,..and I hit the tree at around 75mph......wish I could of had a vid of it,....it was a fun ride...lol
