Default Got hit again...56k maybe..

So for the third time this year my truck has been hit, all three times were not my fault.. and this time it was just parked infront of my house..1st was a hit and run 2nd was no insurance 3rd was hit and run infront of my house..and after this 3rd time its a bitch to open the tailgate so im going to have it fixed under insurance...





but the point to this thread was for everyone to help me decide on what to do with it...im debating between..

Painted SSS rear bumper
stock bumper
roll pan
roll pan molded in on the sides

and if i do a roll pan im thinking about fabbing up a bumper like bar to go behind it out of some 2x2 square tubing.

so wudda guys think i should do with her?

I would personally do the painted sss bumper or another stocker. A roll pan will make the rear more damage prone, plus I used my stock bumper to pull out some bushes today.

Personally, if I were you I'd put an array of 3 inch steel spikes on the bumper mount.

Dont do an SS bumper, they look really really akward unless you have the body cladding to go with it, sorry about the truck

i hear ya about being damage prone.. thats why i wanna put the 2x2 square tubing behind it so if i do get hit again that will take most the damage and not the bed/frame.
