I hear you on that!
I should have said it differently. In problem solving, you need to break things down to their smaller components. So once you remove the bumper, the primary function of the bumper support is to retain the hinge pins. How would you retain those pins if the bumper supports werent there....mount a plate somehow? Gotta be some way to do it.

One thing about it, those bumper supports absorb a LOT of energy. So what ever the answer is, its gonna have to provide that same absorbing quality, or take that load somewhere else.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
