Now - This is a front bumper!

Technical Overview: The Ibis Tek Front Protective Bumper (FPB) [Patent Pending] enables the HMMWV to easily push its way through barriers or other vehicles put in front of it, and prevent damage to critical engine components when other vehicle operators target a HMMWV for damage. Without the Protective Bumper, existing parts on the HMMWV, such as critical cooling components, are particularly vulnerable.

The FPB attaches to the vehicle in a matter of minutes, without any special tools, and provides unsurpassed protection for your vehicle under all types of conditions. A cutout in the front of the bumper provides mounting for the front winch, if desired.

Yeah, I think it would make this much more difficult:

It just needs some diamond plate to really finish off the Farmer John Ranch-hand look... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>It does have that Texas cattle catcher appeal to it. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
