Default Before and after Bumper Swap

I thought I would share before and after photo's of the front and rear bumper swap I did this past Saturday. Thanks to Alex (16xlt) from the Dallas/Fort Worth area that did most of the work. The color matched bumpers on my 2016 XL were ok but I thought the truck needed some chrome. The grill is next. I just haven't decided on which grill yet.


We're going Tuesday to get Line-X spray-in bed liner.

I prefer the ptm bumper. I do know, the chrome bumpers are better at resisting rock hits.

Interesting. I personally like the painted bumpers as well, but if the chrome look is what you like, then more power to ya!

Thank you Dane for the swap and help. Those clips and back bumper nuts were no joke!

Chrome always looks better, just my 2 cents worth.

What'd you do with the old painted bumpers? Is your truck magnetic metallic?
