05 DC Rear Bumper ?'s on replacement

jhorton · #1 (**permalink**) 01-17-2006, 04:51 PM

Got a little carried away out wheeling.

Need to replace the rear chrome bumper on my '05 DC SR5.

What years bumpers fit?

Anybody done this? Easy?

Local dealer wants $434 + tax, good price?

Any good aftermarket bumbers anyone would recomend?

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Hey Jack,

The price is probably pretty close. I was quoted $397 in '04, for the same bumper.

You'll also need to keep in mind, that the quoted price... IS ONLY... for the chrome bumper... period. Nothing else. No plastic steps, lights, etc.

Hope this helps...

My 04 is in the shop right now for an incident with a pole. The bumper was $344, brackets $63.93 and with sheet metal repair & paint (kinda hit it hard) the total is $1321.47.

Now normally, I would have fixed it myself, but since I smashed up the box also, I best leave it in the capable hands of my local body shop. The supplier for the parts was:

Check out my pics, I was rear ended by an F350, destroyed the rear bumper and mounts but did not mess up anything else. Total for a new stock 2005 bumper, new cross member with mounts, paint etc. $1800. I thought that was nuts, drove down to El Campo and had the guys at tough country replace the rear with their deluxe bumper, and did a front end replacement too all for almost exactly what the insurance check was for. checkout http://www.toughcountry.com/

I love the new rear bumper, have some beefy d rings now, and it's a much better step to get into the bed.

How do I see your pics?

Can you email them to jhortonATmacDOTcom?

Thanks,

Jack

OK

I figured out how to see your pics.

Looks real nice.

I sent that outfit an email.

I bet shipping will be a bear!

You truck looks real good with those front and rear bumbers.

Thank you for your post.

You guys are killing me with these quotes!!

I "gently" tagged my rear bumper in a parking lot a month ago & am waiting for winter to pass for repair. Better save more than my pennies!! Even though I know I have no one to blame but myself for the damage, these bumpers, if you pardon the expression, $uk.

So how much did your Tough Country bumper run you when it was all said & done?
Those pics are nice!
(And you're right, the OEM bumpers are nothing but tin-foil).

I backed into a SMALL snow drift today & it tweaked my bumper.
That stupid OEM bumper must be made of tin foil! Stupid thing can't even hold up to a lousy snow drift! What's with that?!

Haven't even had the thing a week yet & the stupid snow already tweaked it!

It isn't bad & unless you know what you're looking for you wouldn't notice it, but...well...I do & I wanna get something tougher than that stupid POS excuse of a bumper they stuck on the back of my truck at the factory.

If something ever rear-ends me I want them to get the brunt of the damage...not my truck.
