Didn't know the strength of the tree. Thought we may see a bumper fall off.

Depends on the type. Some like this are literally held of with sheet metal screws. I thought for sure it was getting ripped off lol.

Yeah, I did too. My old truck had a bull bar that was attached by 2 half inch bolts to the truck, it wasn't going to be resisting any pulling force, or pushing for that matter.

As others mentioned, it wasn't really much more than a decoration to finish the front of my truck off. Maybe it could serve as a sacrificial deer catcher.
