Title: Bumpers on newer trucks
Post by: Bofire on February 07, 2012, 07:02:53 PM: The other day I was out taking out some of my fence to get a track hoe in for some work. I was using my truck to push the wooden posts abit so I could get them 'rockin' and pull them out. Now I got this little dent in my rearbumper on the drivers side. I know its a farm truck :chuckle: but it is a 2010 purty chevy truck.
My question, Does any after market outfit make "real" rear bumpers?? I have a receiver hitch also. :chuckle: afterall I might want to back into something else??? :dunno: A nice looking solid, chrome bumper, made of steel.
thanks
Carl

Note: Thanks Dad for backing my truck into the light standard, I love the new bumper. Everytime he borrows it now I tell him to go ahead and smash the front bumper too :chuckle: The father-in-law gets the same instruction.

You apparently need 3 men and a small boy to install them though...

If you have a friendly fab shop nearby they can probably get you a great product without having to worry about the drop ship delivery or huge shipping costs. They can also add/delete things you like/don't like.
