I have a chrome bumper it has a dent in it and I want to replace it with a painted bumper. Is it hard to change bumpers ? mine has the fog lights, I was not sure if it was just a few bolts or if it was something a little more serious

if you are talking the sport bumper like mine its not an easy bolt to bolt direct swap...if you are talking a painted metal pumper like on the trx models yes that is a bolt to bolt direct swap

It's not hard, I think it's about 4 bolts holding it to the frame and a dozen or so holding the bumper brackets to the bumper

Are you talking about the bumpers like on the st, trx/outdoorsman, and laramie longhorn? If so those are still metal and a straight swap. The ones on the express and sport are plastic and need all new supports and brackets to swap
