    Front bumper issues

    Here is a question that has been bothering me. First let me explain what happened:
    A few years before I got my car my step-mom bumped into my dad's Jeep Grand Cherokee and scraped the paint and bent the drivers side part of the bumper. Is there a way to bend it back? It's not so bad that it's very noticeable, but it is kind of annyoing seeing as how my grill sits a bit lopsided due to the damage. Can a body shop fix it? or can I do it myself?
    Thanks for the help!

      You can try bending it back but its gonna take time and work. You could go to the local junkyard and pick one up which isnt that bad. If you planned to do it I would imagine you would need a level surface obviously, some heat, and try to bend it back.

        Depending on what is bent determines what you will have to do to straiten it out, and how hard it will be to do. It could just be a messed up bumper mount, or it could be something totally different.

        If you've got a problem, I might have an answer... or a sledgehammer.

          the brackets that hold the bumper support beam to the car are really solid... mine was bent, and i couldnt even get it lined up with a sledgehammer. might want to hit up a junkyard...

            werd..
            all the junkyards around here have lots of cb's and some already have the bumper removed, so if the support is bent, then you can easily get to it.

              I don't want to buy a new bumper unless it's a JDM one, b/c it's probably gonna cost the same considering the junkyards around here charge out of the ass for big stuff like that. I also discovered to my irritation that my hood is a bit bent too. Pissed me off.
              I think if I fix the hood the grill will look fine; the bumper isn't so noticeable until your right up on it. and for pics, check out my ride page in my sig. simple enough. thanks guys.
