Got rear ended. Show me your rear bumpers

[BobDP]

How about this? Addictive Desert Designs. Wish I could afford their stuff, always liked the design. Would love to have their stuff on both my trucks.

I had the exact same thing happen to me and this is the bumper I went with. The insurance company paid 100% as this bumper is almost exactly the same cost as all the pieces for the stock bumper. I really am happy with how it came out.

Based on a couple estimates I got today, I could easily get the ADD bumper. I'll be doing the labor myself, so that saves some money.

Maybe its different here in ND, but if I want, I can take the money from the other person's insurance company without even repairing my vehicle. I'm not obligated to fix it or take it to a specific body shop. I've dealt with a situation like this before, so I know how it all works.

So, that being said, I'm still looking for aftermarket bumper pics, as the thread title states.

That is true you can take the check and then pay the difference for the new bumper all I was saying is the insurance would not pay for an aftermarket in the check they give to you, agreed, Troy?
Looks like you may have already found what you want, good luck.
Nice to be an American were we can agree and disagree with corduality

I get what you're saying. That the insurance company won't specifically pay for an aftermarket bumper on paper. Totally makes sense.

Insurance will reimburse or pay for OEM. You can take that check and add your own cash for the upgrade but some body shops will not replace OEM with aftermarket so you may have to replace yourself or pay out of pocket for upgrade labor.

That. When I had my front end accident, the shop wouldn’t install the aftermarket front bumper. No biggie doing it myself. I’ll add, based on the other comments that in most cases the aftermarket bumper will cost a food bit less than an OEM replacement so you’ll easily be able to take the insurance check, buy an AM bumper and probably have money left over. I had a LOT left over with the front bumper.

In this case, the aftermarket bumper I want is very close in price to a new OEM bumper after paint. I'm a small business owner with wholesale access to tons of different aftermarket automotive parts, so that definitely plays into this ?

Yeah, I had a small scratch so I had the body shop repaint. Plus I figured why should I do it when it doesn't cost me anything to have someone else do it for me.

Here is what mine came out like;

@BobDP which lights did you install in the ADD rear bumper?

Just some Ridgid floods. They bolt right in.

So do these AM bumpers come with sensor holes to install the sensors from Ford or if sensors still good from damaged bumper or do you just drill the needed holes?

They have 2 for the same price. 1 has sensor holes and 1 dosen't. Just pay attention to the description.

I wish my ranger had the corner step built into it. I'm getting too old to crawl up on the tail gate.

They have a couple trailer hitch steps that you might check out. One of them might would for you.

This might be late to the party, but I really like the minimalist look:

I know this picture is on a Gen2 Raptor, but the Ranger version is being shipped to me now for installation. I'll have pics installed in a couple of weeks.

I don't see where that bumper has cutouts for the rear sensors?
