Help w/ a stock bumper! - broncoslim - 05-11-2012
So I get the call yesterday morning from my 16 year old that nobody wants to get, "Dad I've been in a wreck"! He was on his way to school when 2 cars up slams on the brakes to not hit a SQUIRREL. 1 car avoided to the right and 1 to the left and my young inexperienced driver centered him in the back. Luckily there were no injuries except the Bronco. The stock bumper was crushed back with no other real damage. My question to you guys is "does anybody have a stock bumper that they have removed that they want to sell?" I have a line on one in VA but haven't heard back yet so thought I would check with you guys. Thanks in advance!

glad everyone was ok. Just make him a nice bumper out of C- channel. Might be a few hundred extra pounds, but it won't bend
my dad had something like that on a C10 pickup he used to own. I think he hit 2 deer with it. wouldn't have known if he didn't say anything.

Thanks for the replies. I may talk to Dave at Olivers to possibly build something for it if I can't find a cheap stock one. Broncosbybart, my wheel centers I got from you have worked out great. We applied pressure in the press while tacking them in and they seemed to have come out pretty true. Not that the beast will ever see road duty again. LOL
