mancheflo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Has anyone ever got this cavfab stubby bumper and has any reviews on it? I want to get a new bumper but have found when taking my old one off and the bumper bracket that it is a bit bent (see second pic) and was curious if there’s any way to straighten this out or fix it or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Bolt a piece of angle iron to it, hook a chain to the angle iron, heat it up and pull it out. The actual bumper bracket is a bolt-on part: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The part that's bent in your photo is the front end of the right front body sill (as the parts manual calls it), what we sometimes refer to as the "frame ear." It's a hollow, sheet metal box section with a closed front end, which is why yours collapsed when it was hit. It's part number 3 in the exploded parts diagrem: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zomeizter Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 If it is not necessary to be pulled, homebrew yourself a spacer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
