Default Fixed my bumper today *pics*

Well as some of you may know I hit a washout while out playin around last weekend and banged my bumper up a bit. Nothin serious but it was jacked up and looked bad lol...









Well it was a nice day today and I was outside with the kids so I thought I'd have a go at it... The covers are quite easy to get off, just squeeze the (remaining) clips and pull it off... I had already taken the air dam off a while ago so it was that much easier

Overall time invested: half hour tops lol



looks pretty bad without the covers lol


twisted a bit


the covers..... theres alot of clips holdin these things on, luckily I only broke a few on that end (and none while taking it off somehow lol)


A few hits with a BFH later (well, a BF splitting maul actually) and an adjustable wrench for prying, and I got er straightened up better.




Heres the covers back on, but it's stickin out some because of the broken/missing clips



a couple of bolts with threaded body clips on the back and its back in place as good as it's gettin for now lol.... at least it's not stickin out like a sore thumb haha

thanks guys.... I'm thinkin about drillin holes all along the lower cover now, and bolting it all the way across with the same bolts, I think I'd like the way it would look, and it would be much more secure than with just the factory clips. The bolts in it now go through the bumper where the missing snaps would be, so I could just do that all the way across...

Real nice job. I noticed you don't have your air dam anymore, did that rip off, or did you take it off? Mine got ripped off when I was backing down a snow bank last year. lol
