My mom died this week and I had the funeral the same day I was to deliver my Black H2 to a multi million dollar sponsor of DMS.

My chief mechanic drove it up the NJ Turnpike towards Newark (with my sales manager in a chase car) and were cut of by a car, Rubber Head, I will call him.

Hitting the guard rail at 50 plus MPH with the front wheel did some damage. After impact, the rear end went up higher than the guard rail, came to rest, and bent the panhard bar as the rear end flexed.

The front end is damaged as you can see. The H2 has a total 16" lift and what was good for us is that the body was higher than the guard rail. The stock nerf bar rode the top of the rail for around 150' preventing a lot more damage.

I need a stock black nerf bar---anyone?

The rest of the parts are custom and on order.

Turnpike travelers got a good look at it along with the cops before they could get it off of the guard rail and back to the shop.

The "before" pic is on my website that is in need of an update since the company has grown so much this year. Who has time to keep those damn websites updated anyway!

P.S. Brembos do not work when the fluid reservior is empty!
