Bumpers

there are three cutout compartments located on the rear bumper.

1 - middle and 2- on the sides. Pop them off and unscrew the bolts.

The curving corners under the rear quarter panels slide out by pushing forward and letting them fall off track. Sincerely, Dat dude

Have you checked JC Whitney? They have tons of automotive accessories. They had bumper covers at their website. Request a catalogue while you are there. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=bumper+cover&searchbtn.x=13&searchbtn.y=13 These are the results when I added Dodge Dakota 07: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Browse/showCustom-0/makeName-Dodge/makeId-23/modelName-Dakota/modelId-412/year-2007/showAll-1/c-10101/Nty-1/Ntx-mode+matchallpartial/N-10101+200728540+2007/tf-Browse/s-10101/Ntk-AllTextSearchGroup?Ntt=bumper%20cover

That is a lock system that can be removed with the key,so you can install the tire tool in it and let the spare tire down to the ground.

To absorb some of the energy from a low impact accident.

The rear bumper cover is attached by 4 screws (behind the fender well covers, easily moved), and 4 screws inside the rear hatch. There are also 12 fasteners along the top and bottom of the bumper skin that can be pried out. Replacement fasteners cost about 5-10 dollars for a pack of 10. If you have a gray (non-painted) rear bumper, it only costs about $200 to replace it, and it's easily a DIY job.

probably $1000-1500

you put one on both bumpers

There is probably nod difference in the integrity of these bumpers. As long as the rubber(decorative) parts match yours.

There are 5 to 7 bolts that hold it on (12mm?) One is in front of , the front wheels . It goes up into the fender. A smaller screw holds the bumper to the inner fender. I think there are 3 bolts on the fraim cross member. good luck, I put mine on in about 10mins. couldn't beleave the ease

No, it can't.

Bumpers that are dented, bent or scraped are not repaired; they are replaced. If the connecting brackets are loose or damaged, they can be replaced or repaired to secure the bumper, but the bumper itself is not repaired.

The rear bumper on a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 is changed by removing the wiring to the trailer hitch and license plate. The retaining bolts can then be removed and the bumper lowered from the frame.

remove the screws and pull it hard

Yes it does the only one that comes without a chrome bumper is the ls package or other known as the work truck package. Go to kbb.com and enter everything about the truck and it will tell you exacly how much it is worth.

In California, all passenger cars have to have rear bumpers, but light trucks do not. So, the exact answer to your question is....depends whether you drive a car or a pickup truck. Not strictly true. If a car is designed to have a bumper fitted then it should have a bumper fitted. There are several sports cars, even in california, that do not have bumpers. An inetgrated colormatched spoiler is not a bumper In UK provided that there are no exposed sharp edges that could damage persons walking past the stationary vehicle or cause excessive injury in a crash you should be OK. However, if you have an accident and it is decided that the damage incurred would have been negligible if a bumper had been fitted, and you hadn't told the insurance company in writing of the 'modification', don't expect a payout

yes

Remove the black cover clips by the license plate. Undernearth are 10mm bolts. Remove the bolts.Remove the two bottom push in type pins with a flat head screwdriver. pull down on the side where the open slots are. The rubber base of the pins stays agains the car until you pull the entire thing out by hand.Remove the two Phillips screws on the left on right side under the wheel wells.

No most muriatic acid no matter its concentration has a chemical reaction with aluminum that gives off H gas.(i have only tried it with Aluminum foil but dont know if it works the same for all Al) Try not to mix the two.

If the vehicle was manufactured with one, yes. It, or something that takes the place of a bumper, must be installed on the vehicle. The requirements of most (all?) DMV regulations nationwide mandate a front bumper.

Remove the plastic cover to screw in the lashing eye if the vehicle is being carried on a transporter. The lashing eye is normally stored clipped on to the side jack in the spare wheel well.

UMM no i had a buddy to try but it will not fit in his it was a 2003 r/t and we took it to a specialist and he said the car will not allow it

It depends. Which bumper is still in your driveway, your front or rear? Did the other car leave the roadway and hit your car? After you came to a full stop did you then proceed to back out and then got hit? If any part of your car was in the roadway then it would most probably be your fault. Any vehicle that is entering into traffic from a driveway is required to yield the right of way to those vehicles traveling within the roadway. If you stuck 2 inches of your car into the road and you were hit, it would be your fault.

i had to do this same thing just the other night. First at both ends of the bumper there is a supporter that has a Y at each end. first remove the bolt at the bottom of that. Then there are about 4 more bolt that connect to the frame in the center of the bumper remove those and if you removed the right bolts. it should come off.
