The Turtle V gets a Buckstop Facelift

After studying the designs of our last nine bumpers, we realized that the upright support bars needed be at an angle that would push large animals like deer, cows and burros away from the truck, not up into the windshield. The basic shape of the Buckstop Outback was a good compromise. The welded box design is very strong and lighter than a thick piece of solid steel. With the bumper’s foundation pre-fitted, the real fun could begin. How could we blend our own 38 years of experience with ideas taken from our original Land Rover’s “Tumba Burro”, Australian “Roo-Bars”, Paul Richard Engineering, Kendall Engineering and now Buckstop to achieve the goals of strength, aesthetics and function? Stay tuned for more.
