ARGH! I need rear bumper protection

I love my Tundra, but I live in mASSachusetts, where the worst drivers in the country live (not me, of course). When I go to a store, I park as far away from others as possible; my rule is no other vehicle within four spaces on any side. But I still find scuffs, scrapes, and a CRACK on my truck - mainly the rear bumper and taillights.


I want to protect my truck from this abuse. I would love a solution where, if some MASShole bumps, rubs, or hits my truck, their fender/bumper/or whatever gets trashed. I would settle for some kind of overlay to protect the body panel and finish.


Most rear bumpers replace the original, which does not wrap around the back end. I found a few that wrap the edges, but they require cutting body panels, which I would prefer not to do.


Any suggestions? BTW, I sometimes get dinged in the front end, so I am also interested in a front-end bumper/bull guard/etc.

 

Try a nice big trailer hitch and some extra wide running boards as a start. One of those nice front bumpers. Then lift it about 8” so the offending vehicles go under yours.

 

Back in and get a brush guard?

 

I’ve always heard the term “that’ll buff out” but only recently tried to buff things out…it actually works wonders!

 

I know how ya feel I too live in Assachusetts
I usually do the drop off at the door/close to it make sure I brought my passport then I park.
