Rear bumper rusting towards the ends? I'm always amazed at how much mud and gunk gets in there. I always try to spray it out real good when washing the truck.
Oddly enough my front bumper just rusted thru on the drivers side below the headlight.

Mines not on the ends its down by the license plate holder and can see some of it. Last guy that owned it put black rubber over it to cover it up. Yesterday It was nice so I took my front bumper off and sanded the inside and primered it

yea, shipping a hood from chicago to dallas. sorry, but don't think that would work very well.

After we get the old sliding glass door torn out of the house and new one put in, hopefully i'll be able to wire wheel and spray the bumper.

on a side note, enjoy my new sig.

I've only seen bedliner look good once when it wasn't in he bed- a guy used it to do the bottom foot of the side panels for offroading, so it wouldn't scratch the paint.
