Default Anybody near dallas selling a rear bumper? 2k dakota.

I was part of a freaking hit and run on i-35 yesterday and now my back bumper is a little twisted up lol. I am trying to find a cheap replacement for possibly under 200.00 when I get the time. Any help would be nice.

build one, than find whoever hit and ran you and ram em with it lol. 1/4" steel even 3/16 should do it lol. and if anyone ever does again well than they will see all the damage not you maybe a little paint on the bumper but thats about it. lol

Junk yard should have them. I want a new one due to rust on mine and cant find any ones that are in good shape with little to no rust. I found 4 at one small junk yard with little surface rust if you dont mind that then you should be able to call any junk yard and find one. Making one is a good idea too I have home made steel tube bumpers on my 85 ram and you cant hurt them when my uncle had the truck he was rear ended by a suv and it chipped the paint off the bumper a little bit but the lady that hit him needed whole front clip for her suv about 4-5,000 worth of damage. Then last winter I was driving and hit a patch of ice doing around 25 and hit a tree didnt bend the bumper but bent the mounting bracket a very small amount.
