Found a NOS tube bumper on the web for $150 + shipping 
About time I had some luck with this truck, lol.

**NEED HELP !!**
So I'm trying to install the bumper and the brackets that bolt to the frame are different heights. This makes the holes off by .700" and the bumper sit noticibly crooked. I'm baffled because there is no other way this thing can go .. is it me or has anyone else run into this with the tube bumpers ?

So i measured and for the tailgate to open fully the holes need to be at the height of the larger, right side plate. My guess is the one on the left was a cut off piece that was an inch short and they didnt notice when they bent it and drill the holes. Ugh.

Success. Drilled lower holes and she's perfect.

Thank you guys. Im really happy with it, changes the look completely and its surprisingly well made, minus the defective bracket...
Next up is the winch bumper and lights. These i need to get on asap, driving at night is sketchy even with the new 9007 bulbs. I'm thinking amber LED driving lights.

Haha, my neighbour got a new 3D printer and stole one of the factory bumper plugs then comes back a few hours later with three replicas in black and one with a smiley face 
Having fun neighbours make life worth living !
