why do some typhoons have....

[gonepostal]

uneven(lump) front bumpers? sorry, im new to typhoons and im about ready to purchase one but theres a "hump" on the front bumper. Should i be concerned about an accident that the truck was in, and they never aligned the front bumper correctly.
thanks
jerry

humps and bumps probalby mean a bent bumper support.

Atleast in my experience.

Not a big deal, but something to think about when buying one. New supports are available fairly cheap.

Yeah just crawl under the front end and look up at the bumper
You can see the support behind it and kinda tell if its bent.

Make sure you print off a copy of the Buyers guide checklist at
www.syty.org

Best of luck finding the right Ty for you.

thanks! The buyer guide says only to buy a typhoon after driving one, so this is NOT a good idea.... going through ebay that is...

Well if you're looking at out of state vehicles check for other owners in the area, maybe offer to buy them lunch if they go check out a truck for you.

Some folks won't mind a little brutal honesty to save someone else from headaches.

Research research research.
The more you know going into it the better decision you can make.
