Rusted bumper....no more
The front bumper had a dent with rust. Bought a factory replacement. Oh..I painted the grille too...clean and refreshing.

Any ideas how to fill in the lower bumper (original part broke several clips)?

Buy a replacement valence for it. eBay. Or look for someone parting one out, no need to buy new. A used one and a fresh coat of paint will do the job.

I would mount the lights on top of the bumper since if you even just bump anything the lights will be destroyed before the bumper even does it's job and off road you just cut your approach angle quite a bit.

Do I really need a rear bumper? Looks kind of cool, if it had small lights mounted to the hitch. Bumper replacement is drying in the garage. Painted it with black bedliner.
