Need a new bumper
Need a new bumper
So over the weekend, my grandpa was backing up in his Kawasaki Mule and while looking at my Dad's truck to make sure he didn't hit it, he slammed into my truck...

Anyway, dented up my lower chrome bumper, put a hole through the upper bumper, scratched my headlight up and the fender no longer lines up with the headlight. So instead of just getting it replaced back to factory, I'm thinking about doing a front end replacement. Since its coming out of pocket for him, it has to be along the same price though. I took it to where I had the work done when my truck got broken into and the estimate was just over $1300. I talked with Tactical Armor Group and they could make a bare metal winch bumper with shackle mounts, stinger grill guard, and light mounts for 2 pairs of KCs in the bumper for $931 shipped. Then I was going to get it powdercoated white locally which they estimated it would cost around $300. Then I could buy a set of aftermarket headlights or find a good set on craigslist. Sound like a good plan? Other ideas? I was also looking at a Boondocks bumper with bull bar, but couldn't find nearly as good of deal since I'm looking for a white pre-runner style bumper.
