This man, Tim Johnshon, built a blue barrier to protect himself and his Toyota. Could this help us and our Toyotas (noting that we have no crumple zone, could this protect us)?

"I also added an 8-inch lift, 33” off-road tires/rims, and a bull-bar/brush guard to protect the motorhome from a wreck (since the brakes are stock Toyota 4-Runner brakes and are severely underpowered)."

Yes, no, maybe so?

You have a 8 inch lift. Lets see some pictures. Very cool.

The bull-bar is sweet! Not sure about the tires, but the bull-bar couldn't hurt. Thanks for sharing this link!

Hey, who said we don't have a crumple zone?? Ever seen a TV that took a hit in the front end??
I have seen a couple and each time was surprised to see how little damage there was.
Not sure if a bar would help or not, guess it all depends on what you mount it to.

I think the quote of 8in lift was in reference to the motor home in the story.
Man that RV must get some awesome wicked gas mileage!!
