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...
