King Ranch Coy nailed it! It was a Dodge "Power Wagon"
I bumped a Toyota Celica at less than 10 mph, no metal was bent or lenses broken on either vehicle. The motor shifted far enough foward for the fan to hit the radiator, punched a hole in the rad and bent 2 blades on the fan. The crossmember was finger tight!
Almost pulled the rear drive shaft apart and when the motor/trans shifted back it kinked the slip yoke. Then when I pulled over to the side of the road it hit one of the gas tanks and cracked it. Had to take the bolts off of the u-joint and power brake it to get the shaft off. Filled it with water and locked it into 4wd and drove it the 1/2 mile home. But I wasn't mad or anything.
It only had 1700 miles on it.
The driver looked at her car and said no damage and drove off. I was left on the side of the road with steam comming from under the hood and gas dripping on the ground.
So when I took it to the dealer they started to give me some obama and the race was on.
I could move the rear bumper about 3 inches up and down, one shock was falling off, and the spare tire was ready to fall off.
Other than that it was a great truck.
To this day I will not EVER buy another Chrysler product. Told the GM at the dealer that I would rather have a sister that was a ***** than a brother that was a car dealer.......because my sister would be making an honest living!
That is the short version!

But that is enough thread jacking.
To the OP, congrats I'm glad it is going to work out for you!

And yes, I did own a Land Rover; Range Rover HSE. At times I would stand in my garage looking at the Rover shaking my head. That experience was very frustrating.
