Rear Bumper off

[blackpoolsparks]

Has anyone got any pics of a mod to the rear bumper or pics of an aftermarket (homemade) one.

I think Smiffy runs a non stock bumper.

I seriously damaged mine last weekend and am looking to do something other that straightening it back, which probably wont look right anyway.

I've a spare center section you can have.

Its not the bumper itself, cosmetically the chrome pumber looks fine. (just a few bends, that wont matter) Ive not had a chance to look properly yet, but it seems to have bent the mounts. Both of the side sections are facing downward. It still drives OK and its still quite secure, but the rear door wont open as the middle section has been forced up. If it stops raining i'll have a good look tommorow.

Did you mod the front to match?
Hows about any pics of the rear of your truck with the bumper mounted.

If he don't, I *think* I've still got all the parts off the rear bumper here. They'll only end up at the scrappers unless someone has a use for them. You're quite welcome to 'em if you want 'em.

OK here are the pics.
Had a look today and theres nothing obvious that looks like its bent. Both of the bumper brackets seem fine. I think perhaps its ever so slight, as the rear bumper has only moved up slightly, however as the quarters are attached and are a long way away the angle is magnified at the ends thus:

the only thing I can think to do is to place some washers between the bumper bracket and the frame at the bolt (the one nearer to the rear) , as there are two fastening bolts on each bracket, front and rear and to try and level the angle

Any suggestions, ideas???
