Couple months back I was sitting at a red light. Next thing I know out of nowhere my truck gets rearended. So I turn on my hazard lights, get out of my truck to find out a spanish dude hit me with his family all pyled up in the Explorer.
Despite I do have a hot temper I tried to keep my cool just simply asked him "you mind telling me what that was all about?? Juan, the spanish guy says "oh I'm so sorry, me and my family are trying to get back to Texas tommorow night in time and I was in a hurry. Then I interrputed him and said "ok, let's pull over in the Sunoco(local gas station) parking lot and we'll talk. Juan agreed and so I pull over in the parking lot and what does juan decide to do? Goes right around me, guns the gas and he's gone. I was keeping a sharp eye on him the whole time he followed me in case he decides to do something stupid, sure enough he did so I was able to get his plates.
Fortunately I had my cell handy and I knew the number to the local PD right off the bat and gave them a ring. To make a long story short, juan was driving around with no insurance and a suspended license. So who's the guinea pig that gets the finger pointed at for fixing repairs on my truck?? you guessed it,,,,,,me!
Anyway, the main point here is I'm trying to locate a new/used/whatever chrome bumper for my truck. My truck is a 98 Ford Ranger reg. cab flareside 2wd. It needs the whole shabang pretty much. Meaning, new bumper, bumper brackets, plastic trim and new license plate bulb. Autozone quoted me $335 give or take for a brand new one. Fitzergald body shop quoted me $355 for the bumper alone! Anyone know of a good website or somewhere in Ohio I can locate a good used bumper for my truck? I really don't feel like paying anything over $250 if I can help it. Thanks,,,,AR
