Rhinoplasty

Well the Trimac garage in Oakville did an amazing job installing the new bumper. The new bumper by AliArc looks amazing and will protect more than that flimsy plastic bits that the manufacture puts on. Delivering loads in Northern BC and Ontario can be dangerous especially at night when there is a danger of striking animals crossing the highways. In the past I have had Wolf, Caribou, Moose, Deer, Ram and Fox not to mention smaller animals like Raccoon's crossing in front of me. Travelling in areas that I do, I am usually alone and out of cell phone coverage, hitting an large animal can cause serious damage to the truck, putting you out of service and stranding you out in the middle of no where. The new bumper will not stop damage, it will lesson the damage and most likely will allow you to get to safety should a collision occur. This bumper also has incorporated in it a better tow hook system should a tow need to take place. When I was in the ditch / Snowbank last time I used the hooks that came with the truck and one snapped. Can you believe that the toe hooks are cast steel!

I did have a word with a gentleman that expressed concern with pedestrian safetyand bumper systems like this. His concern that head injury could occur should a pedestrian happen to strike there head in an accident. I see the concern and agree that hitting a plastic grill would be better than hitting an aluminium bumper. Should a pedestrian / truck accident occur I think that would be the least of your worries as seeing that trucks weigh in excess of 80,000 lbs. Remember, look both ways before stepping from the curb. Like trains, it is hard sometimes to determine a trucks speed due to there size and like a train the shear mass takes longer to stop in an emergency.

The picture is not the best, I will up date it later.
