Where to find original factory bumpers?

[Russ81]

Well finally got a ding in my '14 Ram's bumper. Not really wanting to put a full replacement bumper or bull nose on it. Wondering what everyone does to the factory bumpers of the trucks that go with a full replacement bumper.

I'm looking for this style on a 2500 tradesman

Most shops will buy the factory bumper from you and sell it, if you have it installed at a shop. Most people take them and SAIL (had to for the sell, sale, sold poice) them because they are worth a pretty penny.

Yea what I was afraid of figure most just want it out of the garage or back yard like OEM tires on UTV's when they go bigger.

My buddy hit a deer in his. It was cheaper to go full replacement. Think he still put a couple hundred in his pocket

Too bad it's not a Ford. My dad has built several replacement bumpers for an oilfield services company. The factory bumpers are stacking up in his shop.

Hendrys in channel view has some take offs not sure of the models in stock.

Hendrys in Channelview has some in stock and can usually get you what you want.

How bad of a dent? A non insured guy drove into my bumper painfully slow (as I watched!!) in a parking lot on my 2 week old truck, denting the bumper about the size of a large dinner plate... Cheapest i could find was about 150 and it had some nicks in it which i didint want. My paint was still good, so i found a guy called the bumper man, all he does is travel from dealer to dealer fixing the bumpers and bodys on brand new trucks that employees dent up on the lot. I took my bumper to him in a parking lot, stood there as he beat it out and buffed out the other guys paint. I have the same truck as you and am VERY meticulous about it so i was second guessing having the bumper repaired as i have no scratches or dents on the whole truck, but it came out like nothing every happened! Dont have the pics of the dent on this comp, but can get a pic of it after repair. Definitely worth a shot if you can find a guy near you

Got a replacement bumper got my ram off Craigslist. Paid $125 for it.

Thanks for the leads guys, only reason I don't want to go full replacement or bull nose I don't go thru bump gates anymore and I know the extra weight wears out the front end.

I've got a neighbor that has his stock take off and is wanting to sell it. His truck is a 2012, I think, 3500. Send me a PM with your contact info and I'll talk to my neighbor and find out more about the year of his truck. Not sure but I think it should fit yours.
