Wheeling damage...help me decide how to fix

Personally, I think there are some waaaaay sillier looking bumpers out there. And if you want factory fit and finish, it's hard to beat ARB stuff.

 

Vs





.... yes. Don't get me wrong. If you live in the middle of no where were widlife at night is a real issue I would have zero argument there. But anything short of that I just couldn't do it *personally*

 

@nevadabugle i know you have the CBI rear high clearance bumper, why not just wait and ordered the front when you get the funds? It will be worth it! That or just see if you could scoop somebody’s that took theirs off. I had mine for quite awhile until a local member needed one.

 

Awww Just grab a Rattle can of Black spray paint and have a go at it nobody will ever know.....

 

Yeah, everything I have besides my skids are CBI. I wish they made a low pro type bumper.

 

Most of the hybrids bumpers range from 600$-800$. Honestly I’d just wait awhile unless it just bothers you that much. I wouldn’t pay 200$ or whatever the price Toyota charges for that piece of plastic, but also wouldn’t settle for something just because I couldn’t afford what I really wanted yet! Just my 5 cents bud.

 

Check Craigslist for OEM parts on the cheap. Then save your pocket charge for a steel bumper.

 

The last thing you want to do is reveal to the insurance that you take your truck off road. It will not be a good day for you...$$$.

 

I’d paint teeth on that aluminum bulkhead and call it done ‘til you can afford what you want.

 

Something like this (thank me later)

 

Best idea ever...

 

My SSO arrives tomorrow ,but now I'm conflicted. Might be going this direction instead.

 

Tell you what. Just send the SSO to me, and I will send you the paint for the teeth. We will consider it an even trade, although we both know you will owe me.

 

Tell YOU what. How about I send you my lower valence and you pay shipping?

Two conditions: you have to hold tight while I install this week... secondly, in the future you pay it forward to the next TW member.

 

On a serious note, the C4 fab bumper also looks good. Just skip the winch and lighting for now.

Deal, I'm in no rush I'll send you a PM.

 

This. This is it.

 

Be relentless Op.

If it happened once, it can happen again!

 

That is clean as fuck...looking good.
