Need a truck bumper. Suggestions?

[max power]

I had a horrendous 10 MPH crash nearly bruising our Fearless Leader amongst other sober revelers on the way to a drunkening last Monday.

I now need a bumper bar in chrome for a 2001-2006 Suburban/Tahoe/pickup. Its GM part number is 12336026.

The local dealer wants $400 for it. The Fleabay has them for $155 shipped, but i dont want a POS that will be rusty next year and I cant seem to find any good ones from a junkyard for anything less than a new one.

Does anyone have the hook up on GM parts or know of any GOOD aftermarket brands?

Doesn't have to be a diesel to have those. Neighbor has a V10 F250 and Excursion both and has Ranch Hand bumpers. I need to get one for my F250 but funds are elsewhere right now:(

sorry madcat, I was implying diesel as in "tough/manly" not the fuel.

You need more than just the chrome bar. The brackets need replaced also. Try this site to get the complete bumper asy. I use it at the shop all the time.

^ They are the ones that want $700 for a used bumper.

I had a buddy check it over who is in the biz. the tabs are slightly bent, but the brackets are fine. They are welded on anyways. Not much to bend, except the frame.

Get a bigger license plate and you won't even knows its damaged.

True, but you get the complete asy. pads brackets and all. From the photo that needs more than just the chrome bar.

Plastics are all fine. Just need popped off and warmed up before re-installation on the new bar.

I have done bussiness with these guys before. always had good service and parts

When I bought my Silverado it had a cheap-ass bumper on it that I couldn't keep from rusting. I picked one up on eBay and no rust. It's been 3 1/2 years. There are no pick-up truck parts at junkyards - far as I could look. The stock part is very expensive. I bought a new rear one, too. No rust. Just use chrome polish on it a couple times a year. 2¢

Use them all the time at work. We also get a pretty decent cut off dealership prices to.

You have to watch though, some stuff is not OE fit! The bumpers are usually pretty good though.

[chevysoldier]

Yeah bumpers were usually pretty good, and if fit was a little off, never any issue getting a diff one.

I truck bumpers you rarely need all that extra shit. Bend the brackets back put new bumper on good to go
