Came across this video today. Warning: may make you wince a bit!



If you go to just after he hits the hole, there's thankfully not much damage. Looks like the tow hook caught the worst of it. Regardless, this is why I'm really hoping to see an aftermarket bash plate for the front!

Also, the orange stripes on the hood are kinda neat. Not my cup of tea, but they do look sharp.

Ouch! My sympathies!

Seriously, I really, really want that front skid plate that 4wp was showing off in a video recently... I worry a lot about damaging the radiator/etc.

I'm with ya, the Sport has a glass jaw I'm afraid. Been thinking that way (skid plate/ bumper) for a few months. A little less speed might have helped in this case.

Yeah, sadly, even on the badlands (which this video is), the front underside is only plastic. It's an obvious weak spot in an otherwise well protected vehicle.

yea that’s me lol
That hurt but I was fortunate not to sustain more damage. The tow hook did indeed save me. I can’t watch that video anymore lol but it was my own fault. I usually check before I go up or down unfamiliar hills...this one I didn’t and paid for it.

I agree about a better skid plate up over the bumper, also the ecu is in the drivers side wheel well which makes no sense to me

yea the stripes are a love em hate Em thing but it def separates mine from the herd lol

I did the same thing to my lower bumper. Cracked it in the same spot. I got a quote for $750 to replace it, which I am not going to do because I am bound to do that again. I will replace it with a steel bash plate.

Had anyone come across these yet?

I replaced my bumper 2x already. My 3rd bumper will be installed after I get my vehicle lifted ( gonna stay on the road as well now . I had my fun but don’t want to pay for more of it. )
I do think the bumper takes the impact. Next time it could be your radatior taking care the impact . Get some protection put in there ASAP ( I learned this the hard way )
