Why did they total the truck? I never asked. Another thing - different insurance companies will go to different lengths to satisfy customers. One company might offer to repair it, while another totals it. At 30 mph, RTE/ARB bumper or not, anyone would walk away. My point - 30 mph should not have trashed this Disco with an RTE bumper, ARB bumper etc.

Hmmm.....I think I know to which vehicle you are referencing, and doesn't this person have another Disco now, an '04 with ANOTHER RTE bumper on it, and he made a statement he was glad he had an RTE on his Disco or it would have been worse?
