I was looking at replacing my front bumper and valance since the bumper has a pretty good dink in it and I came across this website www.partstrain.com and found great prices on both pieces.

Chrome bumper $100.95

Lower valance $53.95

Plus they have all the brakets.etc. plus a ton of other stock parts.

They have all the parts categorized once you enter you make and model.

i couldnt spend 150 knowing just a couple/three hundred more would get a stout tube bumper. and your plastic valence/bumper will just get busted again if you wheel.

Is it an OEM bumper or an aftermarket that looks like a OEM?

....because $150 and $450 is basically the same amount of money.

It looks the same as carpartswholesale.com... which are eBay stuff. Whatever. I bought a rear bumper from them (side piece)...the OEM are crap anyways, so there was no quality difference.

I've used partstrain.com some recently. Good service, have always gotten the correct part (which is more than my good wrenching buddy and I could say of the local parts stores lately), and good prices. No hassle even with a core charge I sent back. I will continue to use them in the future.

That's not a bad site, I just wish that it would load up faster, and I've got "high-speed-zip-bang-pow-highoncrack-whatever internet

For example, if you're selling your truck and just want to fix a mangled bumper.
