Well I think I have a bumper lined up I found 5 all at different yards all around the same area also.

This is the one I think http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/ptd/4752736471.html magnethead would like it same color as his Dak but the color is wasted.

Or this place http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ptd/4830658917.html but its chrome.

This one has a good one also http://pluckapart.com/ they said they would pull for me same price.


Only thing I don't like is they are all not close to me and in the not so good side of town.

All asking $100

That will be the day that someone chooses to run after hitting me. I'd be going after the punk. Id still turn it into insurance/police as a hit and run. Even if you dont wanna turn it in they might be able to find the Ahole for leaving the scene. It would of been worse if you had a hitch on your truck. I always leave mine in for that reason. If they still wanna run they will only make it a mile before the hole in the rad leaks out all the coolant.

Chasing someone in the big city is never a good idea as if he starts going through stop sighs or speeding a cop is more than likely to bust you than the guy you are chasing. I know how city cops think the easiest target is the last guy in line and you being the chaser that means YOU are the guy they will bust. The cops out here are big time swell heads they don't need an excuse to pull you over they create the situation then bust you. What am I talking about ok this is what they do they come blazing up behind you even though you have done nothing and tailgate you they then follow you for as long as it take to find any little thing you do to finally pull you over. When I mean tailgate I mean you cant even see their headlights they are so close this has happened to me a few times as I just cruse down the road no speeding nothing they pick you harass you the pull you over they may not give you a ticket at all all they want is to see who you are.

AZ cops are @zz holes with big egos' and a chip on their shoulder almost looking for a fight.

They are speed ticket fanatics no ticket in 15 years in CA but now I get a speeding ticket every 2 years in AZ they love to ticket you at any chance possible.

I don't like AZ at all looking to get out

That blue one is the light electric blue it appears, not the dark patriot blue.

$100 sounds about right.

You dont need to chase them long just enough to get a make/model/color and possibly plate number.

This is why you record them or pull over. I've had cops tailgate me also and as soon as they do ill pull off the side of the road. Had one cop pull over right behind me and come up to me and ask me what I was doing. I asked if I was being pulled over for something wrong I did and he said well no. Then I told him I dont have to tell you why I pulled over. I have a right to travel. He didnt say anything got back in his car and left. They key is not letting them follow you. Pull into someones driveway or a place of business. If they give you any grief all you have to do is say you were worried of your saftey and his since he was tailgating you

Yes I have a good used bumper just a small crease in it $100 + gas a little paint and all is well.

Pic's in a few days

magnethead you don't need the bumper panels do you?

I do think its the same color as your Dak I also have a license plate back and the license plate lights that go with it plus all the rivets.

The panels are a bit scuffed up

Bad pic but its painted and on now just need to install the inserts is all.

I will post a better Pic later when the sun is out of the way too much glare also this paint looks better after a month or two when the paint dulls up a bit.
