Put my pretzled bumper in the hydraulic press yesterday. The toughest thing to get rid of is the twist. Dents are easy, kinks are tougher. I left it to think of what i can do to untwist it.

I am sure that was fun on that bumper made of real steel!

If it makes you feel any better hoppy, you’re not the only one dealing with a cursed car. That mini starter I got and put on Polara, second hit and it doesn’t work anymore. Pulling it out and taking it back for warranty today @halifaxhops

The Polara isn't cursed, it's the ability of the mechanic working on it that's lacking.... LOL!

Hook one end to something solid like a big tree. The other end a 30' chain hook the other end of the chain to the frame of your good truck. Back up as close to the end of the bumper as you can. Put it in forward LOW gear and then floor it. When your truck stops back up and check to see if the twist is out. If it is not repeat procedure until the twist is out. But don't do it in that frigid weather or the metal may crack

no, not busted, but they did screw up, promoted me, then realized they didn’t have the slot and after a year, demoted me as a “re org” and then randomly slotted next in that ranks slot but in a MOS I didn’t have, which left me stuck for years. And sad part, I caught them trying to do the same just last week.

Repeat until the twist is out of the bumper or the tree falls.... Whichever comes first.... :steering:
