Reinforce or Replace?

[technoboy235]

Hey,

I was hauling a giant log off a trail and I bent my rear (stock) bumper up. Should I fix it and reinforce it or replace it with a fabricated one?


Heres a pic...

I did that with my 98 xlt first off, I fixed it with a few bumps backward into a tree (center up and be gentle ) also pick a tree you dont like. then get a reciever hitch to hook on from now on the stock bumpers are
"all show and no tow" LOL

a bumper made of 6 in c channel will fix that no problem and can be easily added to as u go, the stock bumpers on these trucks are pop cans i went tru 3 before saying to hell with it, when i pull this one off im going with a receiver below and a channel bumper

not the best pic but u can see its bent up but at the hitch (not seen) its bent down >.<

I wish my bent bumper was as straight as your guys' bent bumpers, lol. Definitely replace it with a custom one, those are my plans.

edit: hmm, didn't realize how old this thread was. Hanna your bumping a lot of dead threads, lol.
