Ok, I just read all this crap and I have to tell you that the only relevant posts in this whole thread are the first three. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but the original poster simply wanted to know what kind of bumper was on the X in the link provided and I think the first three posts covered that quite nicely.

The only problem I see, (and for the record, this is just the way I see and understood it) is that Arterra requested an identification of a bumper with mild implication that he wanted it and TJ chimed in with an unsolicited opinion saying "the best bumper available right now by consensus is" like he was trying to convince him to get a Shrock instead.

I don't want to sound like I'm bashing you TJ, but you did hijack this thread...

Some of you are obviously biased about the brand of products you own (and rightfully so), but does that matter? NO... Especially when you read someone else's posts and have enough sense about you to see that...

Can you guys do us all a favor: present your opinions (when requested) based on your own experiences without bias or prejudice so we can avoid all this crap...

you've got to remember that you should never put too much stock in internet communication... In the end it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's...

...and btw, I've only been registered for a little over a week and I could have told you TJ doesn't work for Shrock...
