haha i hope someone knows what commercial the subject came from........anyway i got rear ended today......i was wondering whats involved in swapping out the rear bumper....its the only part that was damaged(thank god)

 

Never did it on a newer truck. Although it shouldn't be much more then a few bolts and a wiring harness or two.

 

Flow,

It is fairly easy to get the rear bumper off the truck. All you need to do is lift off the rubber/plastic on the top of the bumper/roll pan and there are bolts to remove, also check underneath too. I removed mine to install my Class III hitch, came of in less than 10 min....

 

ok that sucks.... is the dummy who hit you going to pay for all this? if so just have a place do it for you....

 

well i get the place for the estimate.....collect the money....and ill try to do it myself...if not ill just let them do it

 

but the person who hit you is going to pay for it right? lets see pics of the damage?

 

ok guys check out my new back end....looks hot right haha

oh THAT stinks! sorry hun! [>:]

 

well if anyone is parting their blazer...i could use a rear bumper for cheap....otherwise im going to the junkyard

 

That looks like it's a fair amount of damage.
The plastic is only a bumper cover. Under that cover is a bumper absorber and a rebar.
I don't know how insurance works in your area, but if it happened to me here in western Canada, I'd go thru insurance.
It looks like about $1000.00 Canadian damage.
That sucks!
