My rear bumper had been rusting from the inside for a while causing rust on the outside chrome, and now the other day when loading something in my truck, my knee pushed against the bumper, and pushed right through, causing a hole.
I am the original owner and my truck still looks great, except for the bumper now. I don't think it can be repaired. Anyone know of good sources for bumpers?

Five hundred for a rear bumper!?

Go down to your nearest Junkyard and you should find one in average-above average shape for about fifty bucks, if your not looking for a brand new one of course.

Try craigslist
 






Thanks. Yeah, $400-$500 seems a lot to spend on a 13 year old truck. I will try a junkyard.
But for now, I got a great idea while driving home from work today. I saw someone elses truck had a magnetic bumper sticker.
So I found one in my garage, put it over the hole, problem solved! Well for now anyway until I find another bumper.
