On my way into a school this morning a tree during a bad storm had fallen over right in front of my truck. The tree hit the bumper and tossed it up over the roof and bed. Saved my life 100% but who knows if Clint will make it:(

That bumper worked out just like it was intended to do - save the front of the vehicle. That must have been some tree to cause that much damage.
 
Wow! Glad you made it out in one piece. Looks like everything pictured did its job, and you kept your composure while driving. Could've definitely got worse after the impact.

I think that's a '16 Tacoma? Make sure you take it to a body shop that understands the very different method required to fix that compared to a 2015 taco.

glad your ok and sorry about your truck. Send a pic in to ARB - maybe get a discount on your next one if they total it

I was happy to have mine when rounding a freeway bend and finding a full size van rolled over in my lane. LX pushed the van about 30 degrees allowing me to pass without major impact. next 2 to hit the van were not so lucky.
