Left side of rear bumper bent

Hey everyone, just got a new to me 2012 Tacoma, and love it! Got home and noticed the left side of the rear bumper is lower. I can’t find any damage to paint, or anywhere where it looks like something may have been hit. Is there a way to fix this without going to a body shop?

 

Lay on the ground and use your feet to push it back up. The stock bumpers are thin and bend pretty easy. Worth a shot!

 

I sure will, thanks!

 

I bent mine in and up slightly after hitting a hard snow bank backing slowly out of the driveway. I straightened it with a pipe wrench . You may want to pad the jaws with tape as you appear to have a painted bumper. Mine is chrome. They are very flimsy and it doesn't take much to bend them either way.

 

Bumper brackets bent maybe?

 

I’m going to get up under it and see if a bracket is bent, if not I’m going to just push on it

 

Welcome to TW an time for high clearence an bed chop, seriously thats a bummer if you cant fix it stock bumpers are pretty cheap used.

 

Probably you can unbolt the bracket if bent and straighten that easily too.

 

Put a board against bottom of bumper and jack it up with a hydraulic bottle jack.

 

Thanks for all the replies!
