Need Rear Bumper Repaired

smoak352 · March 30, 2010

My rear bumper now has a beauty mark. Is the bumper 1 piece? Looking to replace it.

No, the rear bumper is in sections, however I believe they are riveted together so it may be easier to just replace the whole thing.

It is in all separate pieces. Find out what you need and just buy the parts you needs. Drill out the rivets for the cheesy covers on the end of the bumper. Then replace them either with rivets or stainless panhead bolts. Super easy! Attached is a pic of the bumper with the end cap off!

WOW! This may be easier than i thought, however, I have the Park distance sensors. Actually I may not even mess with it because it is not too bad at all. You have to look for the dent, just bothers me on a truck with <5000 miles

Did your backup sensors not sense the light pole behind you?

Ugh,,,,, Why did they do that to us truck owners. Tough Country Products..... AND, next time you will survive without removing a rear fascia panel for replacement......

I removed my facia for a project that I have been working on. I took them off because they were starting to rust. I removed them and I am i the process of having them powder coated. I am going to do a how-to when they are done. Hopefully tomorrow!
