New Bumper, should I change the style

As some of you may know, I recently got in a fender bender (here are the pics https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show....php?t=107035). I was wondering if I should maybe change it out for something different. What do you think?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I dont really have the funds for a winch bumper or anything, unless someone has any ideas, I was looking at marlin, but I dont know!

I would take the opportunity to get a new bumper (or new to you bumper). Not sure about the laws in TX, but tube bumpers aren't legal in every state. See what used aftermarket bumpers are local in your area. I took my valence of the front, and a friend gave me a prerunner style brushguard that I like alot. Ask around...ya never know

I can highly recommend Big Rocks Off Road, they have excellent customer service, and high quality, competitively priced tube bumpers.

I say if you don't want to spend ANY money, just take it off and straighten it as much as you can. I'll bet you'll be surprised how easy it is.

You can get a plastic covered dead blow hammer and place the bumper on a 50lb sand bag and go to town on it. From the inside of course.

You can get a non winch tube pretty cheap locally. Either that or swap to a 92-95 and get sonorma steels high angle plate. That looks sweet.
