Eagle Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Personally, I'd buy a new bracket from QuadtaTec or Keystone. Only costs like $10 IIRC. Oops. Wrong again. $6.99. Not worth getting dirty for what you might save at a JY http://www.quadratec.com/products/55018_850.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sounds to me like an opportunity to upgrade. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Your close-up photo is so close-up I can't see what the problem is. You asked about bumper brackets. Are you now saying that the frame "ear" is bent? That's an integral part of the chassis. A good body shop could cut one off a wreck and weld it into yours -- for about five times what the truck is worth. Moe than likely, what you need is a come-along, a couple of bottle jacks, a torch to heat up the metal, and a BFH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdesigns Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Get you a big ball peen hammer, a long pair of channel locks, and a few vise grips, then just start twisting, banging, pulling till its straight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I know you don't probally have access to this type of equipment, but a come-a-long, some heat, and a BFH using this process is what I'd do for a "DIY" job.
