Brand new 2014..... Hit while parked......

That is why I have the "SpareBumper" on my truck, because you just never know...

That's all good for those direct straight taps. How often do those happen? The odds are against us all.

More often than you would think... Stop lights, stop signs, bank drive throughs, fast food drive throughs, anyone tailgating... the list goes on and on... A little caution does not hurt...

Sparebumper!

Just to close this thread down, I took the truck to a place recommended by the guys who did the great install, reinstall, and final diagnosing ( Nav-tv problem - FORD RAPTOR FORUM - Ford SVT Raptor Forums - Ford Raptor, thank you also Noah) of the NAV-TV unit (Soreal sounds) and was very impressed with the work and customer service- Woburn Foreign Auto Body. It is a big place and they are working on a lot of high end cars at a time so if you are in MA I'd definitely talk to them.
