    Like an A$$ I jack knifed my utility trailer while backing in a hurry. The end result was that I pushed in the PS corner of my 21 Tundra SR5 rear bumper about a half inch in while scraping the painted bumper side (gouged as well) and a 2" piece of my quarter panel. I was thinking off using a come along to pull the bumper out prior to the expensive trip to the body shop to make like new. Was a slow moving accident and I am pissed the bumper bent so easily. Worried I might make it worse trying to pull it out!

    I see that I can buy replacement black textured caps for the bumper ends on Ebay for about $100 a set. Problem is that I kinda like the color matched ones I have. Obviously if I replace the caps and straighten the bumper my only issue would be the QP damage. I am sure they would want to spray the whole quarter to match the paint which would not be cheap. Someone just lightly keyed my wife's 17 Highlander while at Walmart down two doors and a little part of the quarter. Tried buffing to no avail and now its a $700 respray to fix. Bad week!

    Since the truck is brand new you might be able to get away without paint matching the other panels. See if a body shop can pull it out and correct the scratches. I just paid 280 for both panels under the headlights to be sanded and painted and they are just about the same surface area as what you need.

    The rear bumper is nothing but cosmetic on these trucks. If you look at my build thread, you will see that there is not much too them at all.
