Is the wheel side of the rear bumper bent up or?

Looks to me more like the plastic needed a wee bit more trimmed off. The plastic in that spot just hangs...with no real backing to keep it from flopping around...

What say ye, @steenh ?
 
I'll throw in my guess, @steenh rear bumper dragged a bit coming out of the creek pushing it up a bit into the plastic which popped the plastic out!?!? Proly popped right back in?!?!?
 
I Looked at it with steen and @kreiten guess is correct. Mine moved to on the passenger side too. On the rearward portion of the bumper there are two brackets on each side of the bumper, with slots that allow up and down adjustment /alignment. not to be confused with the wing brackets. 4 bolts to loosen on one side and the bumper pops back down in its place then retighten. Its happened to me twice after a hard smack. No harm to the plastic. I think I remember steen saying he was going to drill another hole to add a fifth bolt to the bracket so that doesnt happen again. Steen can elaborate on that if he wants. Long explanation and thats the deal with that. More pics now
 
You have it right... happened at HITR at some point. Hard to know when with all of the hits that bumper took, but at some point the bracket shifted. Took all of 5 minutes to loosen, readjust and tighten those bolts. I haven't yet, but am going to drill one more hole to hold it in place for the next time I smack it hard. Good eye!
