Potential Bumper Pull Off

All,

I wanted to see if anyone knew the best place to get a stock front bumper and fender flares? I installed a RCI front bumper and winch and now may need to sell them and pull them off. I just had to cut the stock bumper so need one to replace it. Thanks for any advice.

LKQ has an aftermarket line called Keystone Automotive. Give your local LKQ a call and see if they can get you a cover and flares. Otherwise, you can call any larger salvage yard and they can price one out for you. The covers are aftermarket and will need to be painted. Otherwise, a used OEM cover runs about $750 in the midwest...not sure about your market.

 

I would try to see if you can find someone here that would trade you their stock bumper + cash for your current setup.

Edit - it doesn’t look like you have enough posts to list in buy - sell - trade.

 

Check your local Craigslist. I see bumpers quite often, flares not so much though. You might get lucky.

 

I’m curious, why are you getting rid of it? I am considering getting an aftermarket bumper and wench.

Try to stick with an OEM wench. Much cleaner and better lines!

 

Do they come with a warranty too? I'm afraid my aftermarket wench is defective and there is no return policy......

 

Arent we all

 

Two fold, last trip I had some damages that may be pricey and my MPG suck and I am looking to do some longer less technical trips so wouldn't mind getting some MPG back.

 

You think your bumper had a measurable effect on your fuel economy? I suppose it could have effects on air resistance if it is a high clearance type, but hmmm. Skeptical but could be proven wrong.

Seems extreme to rip off a bumper to save money via fuel economy improvements. Is fuel that big a part of your budget? You are driving an almost brand new truck.
