$100 tab isnt bad for your first badge of honor :cheers:

 

Does it look like this? :jester:

 

I found a large rock on a construction site and did similar damage to the passenger side on my truck. The replacement part was $48.00 and it only took about 15 minutes to install. The bad part was the painting cost. $166.00 after shop time, etc,misc and assorted costs.

 

mine was worse

got the part for $40, painted for $90. not a bad deal for a stupid mistake.

gotta love this giant A-pillars...

 

mine was WAY worse then yours bayou. all i did was take of the corner, stick it in the sink under HOT water for like 20 minutes then it popped right out. can barely tell anything happened.

 

Hey Guys-

Could any of you help a fellow Titan owner out and describe how to take the bumper cover off? I also added alittle "character" to my truck and would like to remove the passenger cover and replace it with a new one. Thanks in advance!

 

48 bones is considerably cheaper than I thought that piece would be. Can't beat it. I think I'm gonna go smash up both sides of my truck.

First you have to remove the grille. Then you have to remove the headlight assembly. Then you can remove the 3 fasteners holding the top of the bumper cover on. Then there is one fastener to remove at the bottom of the cover toward the middle the bumper and one screw at the outer edge. Then there are two fasteners behind the cover that push into the bumper to hold the cover firm. These are located next to the bumper grill opening. You can see these if you look at the back side of the bumper. The new cover will come with enough new fasteners to replace two covers.

I know that it sounds difficult, but you can have the grille, headlight and cover off in aout 15-30 minutes. It's actually really easy to do.

If you do a search you can find threads that describe how to remove the grille and headlight.

Hope this helps.


BTW, I paid $40 for my new cover and $97 to have it painted.

 

Shortcuts shortcuts shortcuts! I didn't have to remove ANYTHING to get that cover off. There are two fasteners on the bottom that just screw off. Now lay under the fenderwell...look up to where there are 3 screw-clips that fasten the top portion of the cover to the metal bumper. Using something small but blunt like a rachet extention, simply push the plastic screw from the bottom, reach up and pull it out along with the base. Very easy and fast. I had it off (once I figured it out) in 5 minutes. Also remember to unclip the fog light connection if you have them.
I was able to heat the piece with a blow dryer and push it out but there are a couple deep scrapes and the paint cracked because of bending. It looks 100% better for now. Once I get the piece, I'll just replace it.

I was also amazed by how cheap that part was. I was also amazed to see that the fog light is actually mounted solely on that plastic corner piece! I would have thought it was mounted to the metal bumper so it wouldn't wobble while driving but....it does the trick I guess.

How long did it take you to "figure it out"? Hour and a half, four hours? :jester: Just kidding.

The back side of my headlight got busted up anyway, so I wasn't looking for shortcuts around headlight removal. GREAT idea though.

Part of the headlight assembly mounts to the front of the fender (or should I say that the fender mounts to the headlight), so a "crunch" to the front corner could (and did) cost you (or me) a $300 headlight assembly.

Didn't take too long. I couldn't figure out how to get the headlight out so I improvised. lol...worked out good.

 

BigRed and Hudson Thanks for the How To's!!! Just got back from Daytona, FL(Bike Week). Watched the Daytona races and saw some really nice bikes and trucks. Looks like I'll be using the shortcut method. :futwice:

Love that billet! First one I've seen that I really like, I think it looks great with the body matched upper grille.
