I saw what you're talking about in a issue of Overdrive. They had a ad in it.
bullhaulerswife Thanks this. -
Kind of....... the bumper that they ordered and put on the truck is hokey, still fighting over that issue, but the insurance adjuster isn't happy with it either. We will never use that shop again. AND don't ever let a shop order a universal bumper for your truck. The results are very crappy. I found the right bumper in about 5 minutes of searching google, they were just too freaking lazy to even try. Grrrrrr
Bumper not straight, hood not straight, and a few other minor problems, but working on the solution is becoming very time consuming.
See the washers???? Yeah, they didn't even try to make brackets for the bumper, just used the old ones and about $5 worth of washers on each side of the truck. -
I'll have to admit the washers don't look too good...could have at least put a spacer in there. Looks like two monkeys with a wrench could of done as good. Hopefully you get it all resolved, good luck.

I think that I'm more pissed about this than hubby is, but it really ticks me off when people half Arse things and charge what they do. LOL

stay on e'm till they make it right,bullhaulerswife!
bullhaulerswife Thanks this. -
Oh, I have more pictures, but I get really mad when I look at them, because only one year prior, the truck was pristine! AND we paid for that out of our pocket.
I'm not letting this go, not by a long shot. The guy that I spoke to about the actual replacement bumper, said that you have to build custom brackets to get that bumper to fit right, and they have already drilled the holes, so its too late. Plus, like you pointed out, its like tin foil on the front of the truck. No substance to that bumper at all! -
wheathauler,.. did you get a lot of snow? the wind is really kickin up here today,40-50mph gust,but at least we missed all the snow. have you heard any reports on how much damage the storm did to standing crops around the country yet? i feel really bad for folks that aren't done with harvest,i wonder how RW and folks in his area faired with the snow and wind? bad time for a blizzard,huh, what a weird harvest this has been
hope every one stays safe.
