Argh! What a terrifying idea. Go buy an SUV if you want a pedestrian-crusher!

Mind you, every time I get cut up by some snot-nosed punk or hopped-up exec, or find a new scratch/dent on my car or whatever, I dream of having one of these... and going POSTAL with it.

Been there done that on other cars. They used to be called "Nerf Bars".

If you nudge anyone with them, they bend back and damage the body, then you have a damaged body and the frame where you mounted them is damaged.

I do not even have them on the Jeep, just more to damage in a bump. If you get one strong enough to not damage the push bar, then it ruins the frame.
The stock bumper is much more likely to resist damage than the bars.

Post a photo if you do it, you could start a trend!
