We had one with vent holes in the middle that became a backwards pointy. It was a square headlight doba bumper.

75-7 with large hole are pretty weak, 78-9 are better with two small holes but still not the greatest. I personally wouldn't run a 75-7 and maybe only run 78/9 on a lighter built metric.

I personally think any Doba bumpers are junk.

I'm with Luke on this one....unless it's loaded there's not a Doba bumper worth running.

75 has some extra gussets... None are that great but 75 is the best

I personally think any Doba bumpers are junk. JMO. X2 smoked two cherry cherry Doba bumpers on two different vics built to pretty much bone stock rules, first one was on my gf car then mine both basically turned inside out and exploded. Garbage bumpers imo. |

Travis is correct, no need to open it. there is a full plate running across the bottom of the vent holes on the 75s that the others dont have. They're decent fully welded up if you can do something to keep them from collapsing at the mount area ie. some type of pinning etc

Only one I've ran. I added extra gussets and seam welded it.  Bent some after one run  Was still reasonably usable after second run  |

Thanks for the info guys, one of them will be loaded, not worried about that one, just wondered about keeping other for stock show or load it up also. Thanks!!
