Steel rear bumper

So my idiot neighbor backed out of his parking spot without looking and I payed the price. Well an opportunity to get an aftermarket steel bumper just popped up.

 

Now I’m just waiting for my Alpharex Luxx tail lights to come in

 

Any side view pics showing the body gap..? As the BA bumper has a nice price but I have seen some not so nice ill fitting installs..I'm just wondering if it was the installation person or product it self that fell short as some pics look like a huge miss fitting gap between the bumper and body..Confusing as I've seen other pics via company advertisements that showed good fitment..Thanks..

 

That thing is awesome, I’d be thanking your neighbor lol

 

what other mods do you have going on & Welcome to the forum

 

I think it looks fine. It took about an hour and a half with the help of my 10 year old daughter. I watched a video on YouTube a few times and went at it.

I swapped the SR5 grille with the chrome trim to the 2021 dark grey TRD grille.(stole it off Craigslist $40) I de-badged the chrome, put in RC neoprene seat covers and other small interior stuff. I’m going to get a small suspension lift and wheels and tires eventually too. My truck is still pretty new so I’m just warming up

 

Oh and Welcome to TW !!

 

thank you.

 

Man!

That sucks...but the steel bumper looks great!

For practical/preventative reasons, that would be a necessary purchase (in my mind).

 

thanks. I was gonna swap to a steel bumper eventually, this just sped up the process. The collision was such a low speed and that shitty plastic bumper exploded.

 

Thank you the reply..yes it looks great..the gap is a non issue for sure..perhaps some people have pulled it as far back as possible during the installation process..I'm not sure..as their installed bumper looked like it didn't belong on it..

 

Looks good! If they hit it again it wont be an issue lol the tail lights are gonna look dope too

 

Thanks, I can’t wait for my lights!!

 

LOL...exploded!?!?!?!?

I get it...shattered plastic.

I see the BA Pro Series Bumper for $599 + $25 handling fee and FREESHIPPING on ExtremeTerrain.

 

I forget if this is guy is from "Twin Peaks" or "Blue Velvet".

Both movies are bizarre.

 

hahaha. I was being a bit dramatic but it damn near looked like it was blown up. I got mine from Caliraised offroad. $599.

 

the YouTube video from extreme terrain is what I watched probably 15 times before I did the swap. It was not hard at all.

 

It sticks out further and hangs lower than the stock bumper?
