    Looking into getting this front bumper for my truck to compensate for the damages and possibly doing a fix it myself to the right fender and flare. My GF hit a guy in a Camry the night we were moving out of CA. I was towing with the dodge so she drove my taco for the first time and damaged my front bumper.. say goodbye to cheap insurance. I have options to pay a 1k deductible or 1300-2500 at an autobody collision repair shop. I think I like the idea of a steel bumper instead. Which was in the works years ago before I bought my dodge but forgot about it and had other shit to pay for.
    If anyone has any tips or advice or knows anything about these or something similar please drop a comment my way because I can't use the upper part of the bumper and this once is a direct fit without any cutting involved.
    Here's the link but it has no reviews https://www.carid.com/torxe/2016-to...es-full-width-hd-front-bumper-2283826790.html

    If you want to go maximum cheapass I have had good success popping similar dents out of plastic bumpers by heating with a hair dryer or heat gun and pushing from behind.

    What he said.

    Here's a clip to help illustrate.
