Ultimately I am tired of replacing bumper covers.... so we decided it would be a better idea to build a tube bumper using 2" pipe. Note I said pipe and not tubing, it is 8guage pipe... very heavy duty stuff... Created a new crumple zone using 2.5" exhaust tubing all mated with 1/4" flat steel. Not done yet and will take some time to finish but the overall frame is bent and welded into place.

That ride was fun as hell. I never went rallying before. I'll admit that even at the low speeds, I was gritting my teeth. I'm not used to not going in a straight line on a smooth pavement.

Mike (After the accident on the way back): Kevin, you sure you don't want to drive this back to the shop?
Me: Nah I am good. It really does have good pickup though (Giving evil eye, watchful of the setup of me driving back and Tom seeing me driving).

Thats when you make what you have work... Which is the case for everything about the Dr. SUS. We wanted to keep the 2.5 in it. But we just bought the lease for the shop and had no cash to fix it... But we did have an EG33 and a harness laying around And a 5 speed trans, and.... Well you get the picture

Well, when you two get to feeling like this again, let me know. I'll park my XT6 in in front of your garage with the 'I surrender' white T-shirt hanging from the window. Once you finish sticking an EG33 in it, I'll look surprised when I come to claim it.
