Rear bumpers that don't require trimming stock?

[yellowgeko]

I backed up into something and pushed the rear DS corner of my bumper in.

In looking for a replacement bumper I wanted to go metal, but it seems that all rear bumpers I can seem to find require trimming of the stock bumper. The issues is that the part that is pushed in would still remain after trimming the rear bump. I could pop it out but the paint is cracked and as my better half would say "still look ugly".

Are there any full metal replacements ?

That bumper skin is about $250 and likely another $200 to paint it if just paint the cut-out.

I don't think any are full replacements. I believe the victory 4X4 one is the one that comes up the highest.

Dobinsons is a full replacement rear metal bumper, if that’s what you’re after.

That’s what I figured as it would probably be really heavy to go up that high.

Not saying you’re wrong, but my quote was about $1250 for a new bumper painted to match. This the thought that I might as well get a steel bumper for it much more.

Idk, maybe they are gouging me.

Word? I’ll check it.

I said ... just to paint the part that would be cut out on the one side. Yes whole bumper replacement you would be at that other price you were quoted.

IMHO... a full replacement is risking sheet metal damage, hence the Cut the skin approach on 90% of them.. The bumpers do move around especially if you hit a rock or are hit by something.

Hmmm, Had not thought of that.
