    Would this work on the vans? (Link)

    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.
    Fast is fine but accuracy is final. You have to learn to take your time ... in a hurry

    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!!
