I swear that is the same luck I have when doing a favor. It seems like every time I do someone a favor, it ends up costing me. :smsoap:
Will be ordering a new rear bumper for the commander to paint and replace the busted one . My neighbor was trying to push by hand on the ice his utility trailer that was loaded with a few full size cut up pine trees , so I asked if he wanted some help and so I said hey let's just move it with the jeep ...lol... well I backed up to the coupler and he dropped it on the ball and I proceeded to set up and start to back it into his lot and just as soon as I attempted to turn a little bit I hear a poping and cracking ( like breaking plastic) . The trailer is a bit narrower than my Jeep so I could not see from my seat that my bumper was into this trailers storage box...lol... he ... modified... The trailer with a tongue mounted storage box that leaves 12-18 inches from the ball mount to the storage box...lol... can't steer more than 6 inches before your maxed out and into the box. So after being aware of this limited during space I pit it into the slot and got on carparts. Com to order the new bumper . I could fiber glass and filler this one ,but it broke all the mounts so they need fixed and by the time I buy the materials I'm close to the $135 for a fresh bumper that just nerds paint. I think I may clear coat the fender flares at the same time since they're fading on the clear ... I could just leave it , but I know I can't look at it for another year or so while I still own it.
