For VA...Having lived near N VA, and driven there...I'd recommend an ARB winch bumper, BUDBUILT skid plates. Found a fridge, and a concrete pillar, in my lane on two separate occasions.

I'm with you there on an ARB bumper lol would help when I want everyone out of my way, but that is why I got a pathfinder. and will edit with pictures of each kit I'm looking at later tonight
