OEM right rear bumper needed '21 Ranger (Solved)

[jdjeff]

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm looking to replace a damaged OEM bumper on the right rear. I prefer paint M7 but will settle for unpainted or different color. I posted in WTB but also thought someone in here may have this laying around after a mod. Would also like advice on where to pick one of these up at a decent price. Thanks.

Your best bet is Ebay, as the dealer will only sell them as a set (L&R)
I recently looked at this option when I scuffed my bumper and step pad.
I was looking at buying one (Ebay) and then taking it to a shop for paint, but ended up removing mine and then dropping it off and let them shoot it.
I tried using touch up paint but was not happy with the results.

Replace the Step Pad and Repainted the Bumper End Panel
The step pad must be pulled up on that end to get access to 4ea bolts, there are a bunch of plastic clips that retain the step pad to the bumper, being that I was replacing my step pad but I had my son in laws truck that I was planning on donating it to as his is in worse shape, I tried to get it removed without breaking any of them - No Joy, although I was shortcutting the process without removing the bumper assembly, so you will have approximately 12 clips (est) to get released to make it halfway across the step pad, this will allow the step pad to flex enough upwards to get those 4 bolts out.
Note: I ended of trashing the step pad, too many of them broke off.
So with that said, I highly recommend removing the bumper assembly for a more direct (flip the bumper upside down) access to the clips is easier than laying on you back, a pair of long needle nose pliers and one of the plastic trim removal tools will also be helpful and take your time

Yeah...I just ordered one from eBay. It needs some work but my body shop will fix it. Thanks for your response.
