Default Back Bumper

I like the factory rear bumper that's on my truck now, but I backed into another car and it looks like hell and I can't find another one around here that is priced appropriately. Who manufactured this steel bumper and is it worth $50 and another $50 in fuel to drive 3 hours round-trip to go buy it? I can make it look like new again and I wouldn't have to worry about it busting into pieces every time I bump into something. But like I said, I'm more a fan of the flashy, plastic bumper. If it wasn't so far away, and I had somewhere to stow it, I would buy this just to have for whatever but it will quickly turn into a small investment as it is currently in semi-rough shape. Tell me what you all think about it.

That's a custom one off. If the welds are strong then I'd say worth 50, but those welds are pretty ugly IMO. Also looks several inches wider than the truck and the drivers side light isn't level.

Your local go-to yard with the $600 engines should have a replacement for you soon. It'll just be a sour reminder while waiting for one to come into your world.

Haha so negative, 9. You are worse than I am. But truth be told, my local go-to charges about $1600 for an engine and probably $300 for a 12-year old bumper. They think they are the only retailer for all LR parts, used. And as far as I know, they are. ****ers charged me $40 for a fan, $65 for a tail light and $50 for a water pump! I hate doing business with them
