Default Flareside Rear Bumper Replacement

Hi everyone, I have a 2000 ford ranger prerunner that i purchased not too long ago. That one has a custom metal pipe one installed. I want the stock bumper so I could have the ability to tow things. I'm looking for the flareside rear bumper. I have looked on ebay and craiglist with no luck. The local pick-a-part also does not have any. Does anyone have one that they would like to get rid of?

What do you mean by tow things? Are you taking about a small yard trailer or are you talking about an actual trailer on the road?

There isn't anything particular I want to tow. I want the ability to have a hitch on the rear bumper. The custom one that is currently in the truck is just a metal pipe with no hitch. I don't like it at all.

You would be as well off buying a new one on eBay vs what it'll cost to ship a used one.

eBay only has the fleet side ones for sale. The flare side is hard to find.

car-part.com, you can search there for flareside bumpers within a certain mile range.

Not liking the tube bumper and wanting to go stock is one thing, but don't buy a stock bumper to "tow". If you want to tow stuff, but an actual trailer hitch. The bumper ball is not rated for much, and can be danger if overloaded.

I feel your pain man, those step-side bumpers are super rare and for some strange reason the after market companies don't make them.
I found one at Pull-A-Part a while back and I fought long and hard to get it off the truck.
Good Luck!

I do have one but was planning on putting it on my truck. But if the price is right maybe we can figure something out. Post a pic of yours I am curious.

I'll have one shortly too, but it's also bent up a bit.

There's one at the salvage yard here that is in pretty good shape, there were 2, but that's the one that's replacing my bent up one.

Is the salvage yard you speak of the pick n pull?

Would you be willing to sell it? I don't mind the dent, it's rather small

Default Flareside Rear Bumper Replacement

Yes. The brackets I kept for my new bumper though. You can see them sticking out in the pic. But I had to take them off to put my other bumper on. And the bulb covers I removed to use on my new one too.
