I had a manik brand on my 91.

I also once hit a ditch as wide as my ride, 6' deep, and 3 feet accross. Needless to say this bar saved my ride. I was going about 40mph and had to get towed out after the very jarring experience.
Had it not been for this bar, my pathy would have been totaled. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
I have also witnessed a ford explorer rear-end a taurus with one of these bars installed. the taurus parked and the ford doing about 50mph. the taurus's trunk was in the back seat and the fords blackouts for the headlights were not even scratched.
Highly recommend this product...
