Good day all!!

Well, I didn't get what I wanted from the pull-it-yard (PIY)... I pulled the bumper this morning so I would know what I needed to get... It was actually worse than I initially figured... There are mainly scratches and a little paint rubbed off on the bumper cover... I didn't figure there was extensive damage to the bumper frame... It was really hard to get a good shot of the damage, but I hope yous can see it...

This is the shot in the garage with the flashlight... Not enought light...



Outside...







And the good side...



Well, I got the Durango hooked up to the corner and I cranked on the ratchet pull strap thing... I pulled the bumper out some, but obviously I wouldn't be able to get it perfect... The bumper was actually missing almost all the mounting hardware... It is a good thing I usually put all hardware in my pocket when I'm at the PIY... I installed all the missing washers and mounting hardware... There were still some points that didn't line up... I'll have to deal with body shell points after I get the new bumper... But for now, I have it almost invisible... I need a fender clip that secures the top corner of the bumper cover... The PO had a screw holding it in place... I think I'll get the plastic clip tomorrow...

Unfortunately, I am missing the tow hook covers... I didn't even notice they weren't apart of the outer PDC sensors... I installed those too, but still get a fault status on the module... UGH!!

That's it for now... It was too dark to get good pictures when I finished... I'll get those tomorrow too...

Cheers all!!
