Well I can tell you it will cost at least $1500 to replace that bumper and get it painted the right way.

no paint required. i'm getting a non-factory bumper. it ships powdercoated.

advantages of new bumper:
-mounts a winch
-mounts extra lights
-plate steel construction
-shackle recovery points
-hi-lift jacking points
-improved approach angle

boostjunkie - i agree 100%!

So NESW20, I'll post pics if you do lol! I am almost 100% ready to drop the cash on a new rear bumper and some other exterior goodies, grill, fog light bezels etc. I need wheel spacers as well to make my winter wheels look less lame lol! Still a few weeks away from anything though, but I will post pics.

it's a deal. bumper didn't show up today, so i expect either tomorrow or Friday, depending on when it shipped. called the body shop, asked them to call me back and haven't heard back yet. i'll call again in the morning, but it should be done by now (replacing damaged suspension parts).

i won't have my suspension (lift) on for a little while, but i'll take pictures when i put the bumper on. then again when i put the suspension (lift) on, although i don't know exactly when i'll do that.
