Those rear bumpers look exactly like the buckstop brand....

You finish.... I figured no paint.....nope looks like they need grinding and body work and paint.

$500.00......... wow what a discount.-:t

For saving over $500 just for a little grinding and some bedliner coating, I think those are a helluva deal! Thanks BERK.

these were posted before, IIRC they also need the welding finished as some areas are not complete. these are the first generation also, much better since then.....but $500 if you are pretty handy isnt a bad start i guess

If I wasn't already building my own, a little extra welding and grinding is worth it to me.

Sorry I should have posted a note: "Not for people who call AAA to fix a flat, or ask gas station attendants to check their oil" my bad.

Well berk that is not me.:p: It just doesn't seem like that good of a deal. I got a front end replacement for $750 already finished and I am happy with it. Yeah I could have welded my own but didn't want to. For all of the work left in it, it isn't a killer deal IMHO

BTW I service all my own equipment, I do my own welding, bodywork and painting on the things that I build.;)

Just curious, what kind of bumper did you get for $750?
