    The previous owner of my truck had backed into a pole and dented the rear bumper, in addition to one side of it being bent in closer to the truck body. I don't want a steel aftermarket bumper, but would like to replace this with an OEM version without paying thousands for a Toyota factory replacement. I see that there is OEM style replacements on various websites for $3-400 (link below). I'm just curious if anyone knows the quality and fit of these "OEM style" bumpers?

    Why do you not want a steel bumper on your truck? I’m genuinely curious.

    Because I like the stock look better, especially with the color matched caps. If I go steel rear, then I'll need to go steel front, and I'm just not looking to do all of that.

    I just replaced my bumper with a steel aftermarket (2015 sr5 no park sensors) and am wondering what to do with the old bumper. I'd be happy to discuss selling and shipping you those parts if you would like. They are in great condition if you just need to replace because of a dent...

    Thanks for the offer! let me take a look underneath this evening. Unfortunately I might need the whole thing because the accident pushed one side of the bumper in, which I'm guessing is because the frame bent. If that's the case not sure if shipping would be worth it but I'll let you know.

    I've been scouring here, Craigslist, and Facebook for about 4 months and haven't come across one within driving distance, unfortunately.

    I just installed one from Rock Auto and I don't see any difference. I just replaced Toyota's Cheap ass bumper with another cheap ass bumper I suppose. 10 bolts, very easy job.................if you have a torch.

    The basic Chrome without parking assist and reused my step pad. Looks great IMO. Still have the front to put on because of a dent, back was rusted through most likely because of the dent and cracked chrome.
