    So my 97 4x4 3.4L kissed the freeway divider in the rain (old people slamming brakes...). I need a new core support, and some little parts here and there. The Upull it here doesn't have any first gens, so I have to buy my parts online, what's your best/favorite source for OEM parts?

    I also knocked the bumper mounts off the bumper, I'd buy a new one, but I'm looking at aftermarket bumpers anyway. I'm a welder, and I'm looking for prefabricated bumpers that I just have to weld together myself, anyone know of a place that will bend and cut for me? I'm looking for a Baja tube bumper, not a solid carbon plate bumper. I don't bend tubing, and I don't want my first half ass bending project to go on my truck...

    And! I'm located in Beaumont, TX if anyone nearby has a totaled parts truck, I'll even drill off your core support myself if it's in good condition.

    Thanks everyone!
