    Recently crushed in the corner of my rear bumper… Had bought the truck with some damage to the passenger side front bumper & now wondering what’s the best course of action for repairing both.
    Pictures attached… /cry

    On the front bumper I think I need to totally replace… Not sure if Toyota sells them painted.

    On the rear bumper… I was debating between hammering it out & bondo’ing back to beauty or buying new. Either way it seems like I’m dropping two bumpers off at a paint shop right?

    Only thing on the rear bumper that’s leaning me towards the hammer/bondo is that I had been wanting to put some of the flush mount diode dynamics reverse lights in & if I make a mistake on the dented bumper before painting it’s no big deal.

    What do you people think?
