i just found a nice used 2008 rear bumper to put on my 99 SD but it has the back up sensor holes in it and my truck doesnt have back up sensors and i dont need them since i have a back up camera already

was wondering if anyone has come up with a good solution to filling or using the holes

thanks

 

yeah, sell me the 08 bumper. i have the factory sensors and the backup camera. works great together. i want to replace my excursion bumper with an 08 sd bumper and i need one with the sensor holes. is it painted or chrome? mine is painted black.

 

If you google "hole plugs" you will find several types. You could paint and clear coat to your color if desired.
Here is just one.

the bumper is chrome with black cover pad
it does have the 08 back up sensor holes in it though

i havent see it yet pick it up monday but i dont think the sensor holes are round so a generic plug might be a problem

guess i could post looking for 4 bad 08 back up sensors and use them to plug the holes

an more ideas?

thanks

 

Try new back up sensors and get the module.

 

dont think i need them since i have a camera

many here have both?

thanks

 

I'm not a fan at all. I love the camera on the wife's Grand Cherokee. It's great for hooking up a trailer. It's funny watching people watch me get the ball right under the hitch first try with no help. The sensors are always shut off when I am driving though. Total nuisance IMHO.

 

Check with your local hardware store and look in the bolt section for chrome plated lag bolts (I believe that's what they are called) with the smooth dome heads. Add a nut, cut to length and they will never fall out.

 

They're called carraige bolts.

If your going to fill with bolts buy bumper bolts from a real car with a chrome steel bumper. You can order them for something like a '69 mustang, the ones on my stang would fill the holes in my SD bumper perfectly if I was to remove the sensors.

 

Got black plastic 1 1/8 " plugs on Amazon and chrome Everbilt same size domed plugs at Home Depot!
