'89 Chevrolet Caprice Vs. '94 Jeep Cherokee Low-Speed Bumper Tests

Like I've always said, you can't beat old, steel bumpers. Have an '83 Impala similar to one in vid. I get mine bent, I can get one from a wrecker for $100 or so.Try that with anything recent. BIG BUCKS!!! In '73, bumpers had to meet a 5 mph impact requirement (no damage to surrounding metal) in minor collisions. Several years ago, this was decreased to 2.5 mph to accommodate the flimsier, but MORE EXPENSIVE "modern" bumpers. Oh, they do "give" on impact, for the benefit of "crumple zone" freaks.

Thats the bumper cap, not the bumper you idiots. Course its gunna bend your hitting the edge of it.

@CarPro1993 lol, but a lifted xj... it would only hit a tire and bounce off... oh and a nice thick heavy duty offroad bumper helps to... Jeep- built not baught.
