Front Bumper

jro909 · December 7, 2009

my front bumper is slightly dislodged in the front, from hitting a deer at low speed, i have a small inch gap under the headlights on the driver side and it looks like it got pushed back a bit on the passenger side, is it possible to take it off and put it back on with minimum hassle? i'll try to get pics its snowing like a mofo atm, i believe its just the plastic cover over the actual bumper that is moved

did it just push back the bumper? no damage to lower valance? yes pics would help.

if you get up there an look, you'll see that there isn't much to it.

from what you described yeah you can make it work but it depends how picky you are.. is it going to look 100% stock? probably not.. can you make it look passable decent and worth it to pocket the money you would spend on OEM parts? probably so.

it's your call and good luck with it.

pics would also help.

its still snowing, we are going to have a foot by wensday, so pics are on the back burner atm...it looks like where the dow tapped the bumper it pushed that side in a little and the oposite side came out a bit..i'm not looking for perfection i just want it better then it is lol, the body shop wants 500 to fix it and no way in hell i'm doing that, i assume its just a few bolts to take out and put the bumper back on? i do not think the mounts are bent, the deer hit dead center of the silver strip directly under the passenger side headlight, on the passenger side front wheel well, the bumper is pushed in maybe half an inch into the well and on the driver side, it looked like the bumper dropped down maybe a quarter of an inch leaving a small gap under the headlight..i'll get pics asap but any help off this description is apreciated

No....you just unbolt it and square it up....

Mines been sagging since I bought my truck...I have just never gotten around to fixing it...It takes all of like 15 min to do on a hoist...about an hour if you have to jack it up...and most of that time is getting it up and supported so its safe to work under.
