back on topic UPDATE:

looked at it this afternoon.

for some reason i didn't get a pic from the outside, but you can see from the inside, it's sagging

the only thing i can see that's "adjustable" is this piece

it happened when i got towed and had a chain wrapped around the frame. i don't see how banging that little lip back to straight will bring the corner of the bumper up enough to notice anything.

EDIT: Skan, that's called rust

Is your whole bumper sagging like it slid down? Or is it actually cockeyed like mine is...?

Teehee thats funny

 

[tomtoc]

i guess cockeyed - well not really cockeyed or sagging, just bent

that could answer my own question - do i just need to bend it back...start with the circled part then just use a jack and see if i can bed it back into position

Damn I should have taken pictures when I was redoing mine....

Lol, nobody blames you for lack of logic.

2/2 on failed projects today

i took off the bolt, jacked up the bumper, banged around on the circled part above (i don't think i did anything), tightened it back up and undid the jack

results (it's actually just the before pic)

...another day

mark this down as a project chris did not take pics of. ...what a disappointment to the site

Damnit... You're really tempting me to go out there and take it back off for some pics... Maybe I'll go down and buy some washers and space out the driveside, and take some pics of course

 

[O'Rattlecan]

I have pics, unless you want to show off any modifications you made.

Making a tech thread about how to fix it right now... Not really anything "technical" about it but it'll give you guys some ideas. I'll post the link here when I finished posting pics.

I shimmed mine with washers. I didn't take any pics though.

That's precisely what I did.
