    I had something like that on the front of my old stockcar. So I figure it was put on there to "move" slower traffic out of the passing lane, without messing up your grill and radiator.:huh: :16suspect :biglaugh:

    those are handle bars... for all the kids trying to catch a ride in the winter time... :rofl2:

    actually.. when i was a kid in utah.. my friends dad had a rear bumper that looked somewhat similar on a truck... we would tie ropes to it and he would pull us down the road on our sleds .. or in the fields on tubes... lol

    man.. come to think of it.. i almost died alot when i was a kid... todays kids dont know what they are missing by staying inside all day

    iam in mavaholic's boat.. not my cup of tea.. but to each his own

    That would be great for holding onto and skateboarding behind the car if you ever want to do something really stupid and dangerous.
