i doubt it, the bumper is probably the toughest peice on the outside of the truck, you probably could beat it out a little but it still would be noticeable. check ebay, they had a couple on there a while back.

 

I just purchased a new rear bumper for 2004 SE yesterday. I purchased the bumper at Gwinnett Place Nissan in Duluth, Georgia. Gwinnett Place Nissan is the same place that some of the TT members were contemplating doing a group buy on Titan receiver hitches.

Gwinnett Place Nissan has an online parts business under www.nissanpart4U.com . I purchased the new rear bumper as part no. 85010-8S125 for $303.96 plus tax. I expected that the bumper would not include the new black plastic bumper covers but upon opening the box to insure there was no damage, there was a complete bumper, pads and all. I don't know if they made an error or not.

I had to pay 6% sales tax but there was no shipping charge since I picked up the bumper locally. I first priced the bumper on the website and they agreed to sell the bumper at the advertised website price when I contacted them by phone.. You might want to print out the price online and look around to see if your local dealers will match the price.

The guy I dealt with was Paul Samuelson, parts manager at 770 476-7771.

 

$830

$830 to replace the rear bumper and repair the tow hitch by the shop referred by my insurance afer a CRV mini-suv rear ended my Titan while stopped at a red light. the front of that CTV got ugly, but he drive off

 

I backed into my utility trailer and put a small dent in it. Can the dent be hammered out by a body shop?

you have nothing to lose. I'd use a small 5-7 pounder hammer and see what you can do. Then, if you can pop it ok, get the whole thing linexed and you won't be able to see the body work. After my second rear ending, I got the new bumper linexed and now you can rub up against something without it leaving a big mark.

About $400 for a new one, check with Jamie at titanparts1.

Also it is easy to replace yourself, just 6 bolts and disconnect electrical harnesses. 30 minutes tops.

 

Yep you found one of the weakest bumpers in the industry that I have come across. (Truck bumper that cannot withstand a 5mph hit from the tail light assembly of a ford escort!).

 

I have an extra bumper if you are interested... it needs to have the padding on the top of it replaced, but if you want it its yours $100 bucks + shipping... let me know

 

cmptitan12,
is it a chrome one or one off an XE. let know.

 

I say keep the one you got and beat the cr*p out of it till your ready to sell. As soon as you put the new one on its sure to happen again.
