Ok guys quick question. So I have a 99 sport extended cab and I’m in the process of changing bumpers. So here is my plan. To do away with the sport bumper and put chrome bumpers on. I just ain’t much on plastic bumpers myself. Anyone done this before?

It's been done. You'll need to change the grille too. The frames are different but it all swaps over. You're at an advantage though because everybody else goes the other route. Shouldn't be hard finding what you need as a trade and you can likely make a couple bucks to boot

Hey man would I have to change out the brackets and all. But call me crazy but I’m wanting chrome bumpers and grille. The last sport I had was a 98 and it had chrome bumpers but the plastic trim that was on the bumper was blue like the truck.
