    Anyone know if the rear bumper can be adjusted so it fits more tightly against the body? I just got my truck back from the body shop after repairs for being rear ended. They straightened the frame and replaced the bumper shell, support, and tailgate. The bumper on the passenger side is sticking out a bit more than it should. It almost looks like it's bent, eh?

    Both sides are shown below. The drivers side is perfect but I'm not liking the passenger side.

    Thoughts?

    Most likely aftermarket or the body work doesn’t align with the bumper.

    You can try to pulling on the lower bed towards the bumper but too much but just enough to make it less noticeable.

    It is a OEM Toyota bumper shell. All the parts they replaced were Toyota brand. This is why I'm a little taken aback it all doesn't line up.
