Bumper Banger

[theclaw]

I've back into my last stump. Now it's bent so the tailgate is blocked.

I've searched the forums and can't find a good thread about the rear bumpers out there.

I don't want to be fooled into some cheap thin guage metal or something that won't fit up.

Post pics please and let me know what you have.

Thanks much!

I need one for the other side, after some A-hole rear ended my truck on the highway.

Here's my rear bumper install thread.

Much heavier duty than stock and corner steps for getting into the bed.

rough country makes one that fits the 5g. has steps built in and spots for auxiliary lighting. it looks nice and fits well. no idea of the quality or heft of it...

Best I know of for clearance and protection is coastal Offroad’s rear bumper, it’s a weld together kit a

Otherwise I am curious about arb’s rear bumper with tubes under to protect bed sides, however you would loose clearance from the tubes.

Is the OP looking for an aftermarket rear bumper, or just the side cap for the OEM bumper?

I was thinking an aftermarket bumper. I was under the impression that the whole unit is one piece. The other side is dented too.

I'll search for a parts diagram. I like the ARB bumber but they are back ordered.

If the bumper subframe is OK, you can get away with just replacing the end covers.

Holy Cow! Found the parts. $800 a side that's crazy!

I have to see if the trailer hitch is bent or not. EBAY?

I don’t know much about body work, but maybe a salvage/junk yard would be your best bet, especially in rangers that had front end collisions? But if your planning on keeping it for a long time aftermarket is not a bad idea, since a lot of them have compatibility with all the sensors.

That was the first place I tried. Local yard. Last time I was there he said they are connected to a lot of yards and can find almost anything. Not this I guess.

At that price I'm going to hook a chain to mine, wrap it around a tree, carefully pull it back out, and call it good. Haha. Mine is only bent in an inch or so after being hit.

Ya, or just hammer it in place.

I stopped calling junk yards, they never seem to have anything for 5-6 year old or newer vehicles.
Every time I drive by one, all you see in them are are smashed up Aztecs and 2010 Dodge Caravans lol. Their stock comes from buying up everyone's lawn ornaments for $100.

My stock bumper is toast after climbing over a stump buried in the brush. Squashed up like your but on the right side. Nota solid bumper to begin with but fine for road driving. Just bought the AFN Rear Bumper w/Wheel Carrier and Jerry Can bracket - Ranger 2019 UP @ https://artemisoverland.com/ $2,160.97 with a coupon code. Free shipping! I will post picks after I put it on. Here is a pic from the website.
