    So my rear bumper got hit in a parking lot hit and run. I honestly didn't think it was a big deal. Then I got an estimate...$990 in damage( parts an labor plus a minor paint nick from the bumper flexing back and just touching the back of the bed). Ouch...well, I have a $250 deductible so that leaves me $740 to replace the bumper.

    There is no frame damage or any major issues and to be honest I could live with it like it is. But I was looking at aftermarket bumpers so now this gives me some extra cash to get the rear bumper replaced.

    Now I need to pick what I want. I need a receiver mount and something to connect the factory harness to. I would like to add a wheel and tire swing mount too.

    From peoples experiences what manufactures would you recommend? I've looked at the bumpers post but I want to hear real world experiences. Likes, dislikes and recommendations.

    Fitment to me isn't 100 percent of my liking because my bedside is a little tweaked from a tree, and I'm wanting one from Pledreybilt offroad with a few options mine doesn't have. Check them out though Tyler is a great guy and they build quality parts.
