Bumper Help, please.

Hit and Run. Guy was caught. Of course he didn’t have insurance or even a drivers license.

Can someone recommend me a bumper that will take place of the area damaged? If I have to come out of pocket for a deductible, I might as well get an aftermarket bumper.

All suggestions welcome.

 

ARB!

Not sure but also look at @Mobtown Offroad since you are on the east coast.

 

C4 Fab

Edit: damn @ajmogen beat me to it

 

That can be easily fixed for way less than your deductible. Don't waste money on a heavy bumper that you don't need.

 

The damaged area of your stock bumper cover is in the worst place possible for all the aftermarket plate bumpers that require you to cut your stock bumper cover. The cut will be below the damage on all of them. If you’re concerned about it you’ll want to go with a full plate bumper that replaces the whole stock cover. Only companies I know of are C4 Fabrication and Fab Fours. I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting about. IIRC Fab Fours is fairly local to you too.

 

Paintless dent repair.should be able to pull that.

 

Anyone know what brand this is?

 

SOS

 

Heat that area up with a heat gun...with your hand from behind pop that dent right out...it wants to go back just needs some persuasion.

 

You can’t get your hand behind there.

 

Remove some hardware from the inner fender to gain access use a paint stick if your hand won’t fit. Heat the damaged area in a circular motion from the outside towards the center it’ll wanna pop back into shape when hot enough but may need some lite pressure from the backside.

 

Btw, I didn’t mean to sound like an ass. I’m just not gifted like that. I’m that motocross guy than can ride/race the piss out of a dirt bike, but can’t do much more than change an air filter.

 

I'm also looking for a front bumper. Seems there's only a few out there. I believe even the full bumper like fab four or SOS you still have to cut the fender flare. Go Rhino makes one also. My wifes truck and and she wants one that's "cute". Ha

 

You can pop that right out like someone else mentioned. There's a plastic liner in your fenderwell and you'll be able to pull it back after removing a few clips. Stick your hand in there and push it back out. I hit a log when wheeling and caved the bottom corner of my bumper in. It looked real bad, but we were able to pop it right out and looked like there was zero damage.

I ended up getting a new bumper anyways because I always wanted one. I highly recommend the cbi t3 bumper in aluminum if you dont want to mess with your suspension. You will have to cut your stock bumper, just like the one you posted earlier, so when you do cut it, you can just push out that corner pieces anyway while you're at it.
