Rear Bumper Scratch Repair / Poll

Hit chain link fence backing up.


Really bugs me. What should I do?

 

only cause you said it really bugs you - replace.

 

if used as a"truck" or off roader no way I fix.But if its your everything ride I would fix .'that's why we cant have nice thing" bwwaa

 

I take it on trails. I’m debating on getting the fab fours premium bumper.

Would I have to upgrade rear suspension if I were to get it? If I recall correctly it’s 115 lbs.

 

I wouldn't know, I have a sr 4 banger that gets abused when used. but its only job is being a truck !and snow driver .sounds like yours deservers another shot with oem parts!!

 

Leave it. You and your truck develop scars.

 

I know what I would do

 

I really want to do it haha. Did you upgrade rear suspension at all?

Looks really good and near OEM.

 

That stock bumper is a joke... remove ASAP and replace with a high clearance one.
Also chop off that chode exhaust tip and ditch the mud flaps cuz they are next to get banged up.

 

Been wanting to get rid of the chrome exhaust, and no mud flaps.

 

Sounds like you're just wanting a new bumper. Haha I get it though!
I don't know how people with new/er vehicles and minor/major damage, but that's one I'd leave. Unfortunately, Terry the Texter will rear end you in the months to come. I hope I'm wrong, but he's/she's out there for sure.

 

Yeah. I’m thinking screw it until I decide to purchase the bumper. The scratch just bothers me because I know it’s there.

 

I like it.

 

which brand is this??

 

Fab Four if I’m not wrong.

 

Use a razor blade to trim off the loose bits of plastic, then use touch-up paint. That won't make it perfect but this probably won't be the last scratch or ding your truck gets. Doubt you'll notice it from 10 feet away.

Someone rubbed my bumper in almost the same spot as yours in a parking lot, just a few days after I bought my truck...I decided a 90% fix was acceptable given the expense involved in a 100% fix.

 

Yeah that’s what I’m going to go with until I decide to buy a new bumper.

Never thought about using a razor blade.

The part was $118, but to get it matched paint would be extra $$$. Not worth it to me.

Thanks for the tips!
