How much to take off and install new rear bumper?
I am most likely going to replace my MS rear with the stock rear bumper again.

How much has it cost to detach the old and attach a new bumper?

Thanks!!!

I'll bet there's someone on here who would swap bumpers with you for free - and do all the work.

I have a post in the Parts for Sale/Trade and West sections of the forum. I didn't know it was DIY.

^^ I think so but that's because (I think) the MS bumper is only the lower part that attaches to the original bumper.

You can save the trouble by finding someone with a stock bumper of the same color and just swaping the entire bumper.. or am I wrong?

I think it's just a couple of bolts and maybe some clips holding the whole thing on.

Yep, rear bumper is easy. There's a DIY somewhere around here, but you could prob figure it out without it.

get some gas money Mike and drive up the coast for the swap. Should take you guys about 2 hours to do the swap...just enough time to turn around and make it back to SoCal.
