Default breaking ice

Last year i was on my way to my hunting spot aprox 5-7 miles into the woods when my 1999 wj broke through the ice on a rather deep mud hole. when I came out the other end, my radiator was junk. long, slow ride home.



I am now driving a 1998 xj I believe is stock with 30x9.5 tires. It appears the radiator is tucked up under and behind the bumper on the xj compared to the wj, but was wondering if anybody ever made a V shaped bumper or some thing to help break the ice and direct it away from the radiator.

Most aftermarket steel bumpers do a great job of protecting the radiator.
