Unhappy Need a Rear Bumper..Ouch!!

had a run in with a gas station island trying to get out of a tight situation. Went from bad to worse. Right side of rear bumper and support bracket crumpled at a slow speed impact. Ive been searching the internet for replacement without too much luck. Would appreciate any info. Thanks, Al

The crystal ball says your out of luck finding bumpers for radio flyer pull wagons.

What make and model vehicle are you looking for the bumper to replace?

Your bumper is probably the same as mine. They're probably made in Thor's sheet metal shop with presses and breaks. The support should be able to be bent back into shape (who cares what it looks like, a fresh coat of Rustoleum will make it shine. You should probably find a local machine/sheet metal shop to duplicate the bumper and then paint it with a couple cans of tan Rustoleum.

You can go to a dealer and have them order a bumper from Thor

Any 4xr Fab shop or any welding shop will make you a bumper worth having for likely the same cost as ordering a new thor bumper and shipping cost.

Custom bumper is always good.
Reverse lights, slinky locker, rollers for those bad speed bumps and inclines, best ladder mount, spare tire carrier, bike rack, built in tool box, better generator exhaust mount, fire extinguisher rack, built in compressor mount and air tank..anything you ask.

I just did basically the same thing on my 2020 kw29. Thor wants about $300 for a new one and it only comes in a crème color so it also has to be painted black.
Had to go through a dealer to order.

Like what was said I would get a custom bumper made even if it costs more so you can get some functionality that you want out of it. Custom bumper was a want before. But now you made it a need. Happy accident.
