 This is a beautiful bumper:

 I think there's a sabb with an even wider one, but cannot find it. I saw it in a garage many decades ago.

   Old truck I owned, fitted 8x2 'C'-beam as rear bumper.
   A common trick at the time was for perps to fake a
   'rear-end accident' using a stolen car - and when
   you got out they'd all jump you. I think someone
   tried that on me once ... just left 'em in the road,
   barely scratched the paint on the bumper :-)
