Back in 93 when I got the ZJ, I was also looking at some trucks.
Went and put a foot up on a ford front bumper and the darn thing
bent down. Upon closer examination it was just body thin metal
over some foam and steel backing.

My old Chevy C-10 you could pull stumps with the bumper or jack
the vehicle out of the mud.

Of course the ZJ has the same problem, but at least the bumpers
_are_ plastic and not something made to look stronger than it is.
