JCR Bull Bar - Saving Grace!

My wife and I arrived in Helen, Georgia last night, spent the day tooling around town. As we were walking back to the Bronco, I see a F350 and Trailer basically on it.

As we begin to hustle down there, the guy is pulling away, my wife yells “he hit your Bronco” as she heads towards it as I am running to stop him. I jump in front of the truck, he’s trying to maneuver. He finally stops. Backs up, wants me to move, I’m like no.

The trailer has damage, he knows he got me.

I haven’t seen my Bronco yet, but he clipped the front drivers side with the trailer.

The trailer has a light hanging, the metal trim is tore up. I called the cops, he was trying to leave. They arrive, I go inspect the Bronco.

This is the damage. The bumper is messed up, the JCR Offroad Bull Bar was pushed back and chipped the grill, but that’s it. I can replace the grill, the bumper end cap, or the full bumper. But if I had not had the JCR Bull Bar, my headlight, grill and fender would be toast!

I’m a pretty chill person (middle school counselor life), but this might’ve sent me over the edge!

Glad you “caught” him in the act and your Bronco can be easily and inexpensively repaired - what a POS!

Bummer, dude. But as you said, the damage was mitigated by the protective bull bar. Bravo! Wishing your rig a speedy restoration.

Very sorry to see this. At least no major damage. But what a POS. Unfortunately this happens all the time. Once again integrity and accountability are in short supply.

Yes, Georgia is an at fault state, so I got all the info and will be contacting his insurance company.
