Naw cause heinstalled my lift kit 100 dollar. That shop that i took the pics at is his shop. So i am aloud to use the lift and he ao fixed my truck (IAC ad CPS sensor), installed brakes for free. Plus he got the beaks for $300 (rotors and pads) which is cheap considering they are alot better then FOMOCO OEMS because his dad is a mechanic. So he has done alot for me. The last i can do is not charge him the bumper.

Actually, i was at my buddies house ripping trees out of his yard because they wanted to remodel the front yard. So after like the 15th tree/bush that was pulled out, we reached a tree that was twenty feet tall. So we loosen up the roots with an ax, and pull the tree out with the Ex. So after that we had a big tree in his drive way which me and my buddie together couldnt move. So i go inside to get a drink and i come out and hear my truck runnin. I see that he has backed up to the tree (he wanted to pull the tree into the street). He hooked the tow rope to the trunk of the tree to the hitch. It turns out that he backed up up way to close to the tree that the roots caught the rear bumper and mind you, these roots are very think (were a bitch to cut with the ax). So anyways, i didnt see that and i tell him to go cause everything was hooked up to the hitch. So he goes, and i hear a bunch of metal screaching! lol so thats how my bumper was ripped off and that happened a year and a half ago. So i soon will replace it (hopefully) with a ranchand rear bumper replacement.Im just looking for some time and some extra money to replace it with.
LOL ,

I got some trees you could pull out, are you up to coming to Cali?

No wonder you had a loose rear end Pulling trees out for your buddies, you got the kind of buddies I do, Except they are not mechanics, I still have a busted Rototiller that I lent to my buddy, busted the tank and broke a blade, glad you got the rear end repaired.

LOL, u dont have to cut the roots up unless it is a small tree or big bush. That tree that i ripped my bumper on was the only tree/bush that i had to cut the roots. The rest, the truck pulled out like they werent even there. And most were big!
