More pearls of wisdom. You can find them daily here.
The old chrome ones that affix to the bumper were notorious for causing damage. They were flimsy and you were guaranteed to lose a hood.
The heavy ones, like the Ranch Hand I have bolted to the frame of my feed pickup are much better. I went on a deer killing rampage one night and got three, at high speed. Just a few grease spots on the bumper.
