yeah the bumper is in my truck. i would just say f*ck it and leave it but problem is if u look close it leaves alot of vital engine components vulnerable so it has to be fixed some how. and if DOT gets there hands on me there going to have a field day with this

Let's be honest... that plastic bumper would not resist that much kinetic energy...

AKA Anything behind it is destroyed if it got hit.

I'm not familiar with truck bumpers, but couldn't you get some washers and put it back on?

no. where the bolt taps into the bumper. the surrounding area was ripped apart with about 5 inche hole. ive already tired to re align it and go from there but it wont work

only thing im worried about is the big as* oil reservoir thats exposed now, with some wiring also

its 5 inches in circular diameter. that would be alot of large screws and alot of 2p epoxy. and believe me i have though of that. problem is the mounts to the frame are ripped out to which make its worse(this is where the repair bill is getting jacked up)

Drill gun + a couple 2x4's/plywood scraps + a couple bolts = fixed right up, for the time being anyways.
