As a matter of fact, the bumper on mine was similarly tweaked - backing into a pole didn't help it any. So, I made a new rear bumper, and a bull bar in the front. Grand total was about $40 in steel, $8 in paint, and about 12 hours labor (learning as I went). I was going to make a front bumper to match the rear, but it was getting to be too heavy. But, the bull bar will make a nice place to mount a couple of Hella 500's... I pity da fool that rearends me... http://personal.riverusers.com/~kennedy/bumper1.jpg http://personal.riverusers.com/~kennedy/bumper2.jpg http://personal.riverusers.com/~kennedy/bumper3.jpg http://personal.riverusers.com/~kennedy/bumper4.jpg cheers, Jeff |
