Look at for TBs front bumper

03TRAILEXT · June 20, 2004

.....Right below the grille and tell me if you have a wave in the bumper skin? I have seen this on a few TBs. Now in a few years this will really look like crap. So I am going to see if I can get it replaced. Anyone else have this problem?

I haven't had the problem, but others have.
