Welcome from Oregon. Nice start on the mods. Did you cut the dash out for the DD or buy a bezel from a different truck?

I bought the DD bezel from Metra. Part number DP-3200, on Amazon for $135.

I remember they came out with those, I think that’s the first one I’ve seen installed.

Removed the running boards and will have the front bumper replaced in 2 weeks.

What's wrong with the bumper.

What's wrong with the bumper.

I hit one of these at work and the front bumper bent in and shifted.

Repair shop couldn’t fix it due to the damage.

Need to replace it.

As you can see the chrome is pushed in and the left side hangs lower due to the shift.

They tried to straighten it but there was too much structural damage.

 

[Rocket Man]

Yeah the steel posts win every damn time.

I see. Cheaper to just buy another one. How are the bumper mounting points? Mangled or good to go? Going with another painted bumper?

The left side is mangled.

I called the stealership and they quoted me $800 not including labor.

My good friend who owns and operates a very reputable repair shop where I get most of my work done got the same OEM part for $250.

I may get the non chrome one.

That's why people call them "Stealerships".
