Welp - great start to the new year. My bronco was hit & ran the other night. Looks like some jackass was trying to parallel park behind me and completely whiffed. looks like my bumper got caught in their wheel well or something. Probably a drunk driver. Super sick about it. I got my bronco back in mid-November. No note was left and also no cameras or witnesses. Good times, good times.

That’s some bad luck. Good to see there is no body damage. Looks like a good reason to upgrade your rear bumper(if there are aftermarket options). Antimatter Blue 2-door, pretty rare, hope you find a fix soon.

Turn this to your advantage and have them cut you a check instead of buying another stock bumper.

Columbus lol. Every car in the parking garage downtown has rub marks on every corner of their bumper

New car on campus is a magnet. And no one will leave a note. You get used to it. It doesn't faze me anymore.

You can fix it

I think the only way to avoid that is living in suburbs and working somewhere not downtown

Best solution is get metal bumpers

Once i was walking to my 88 bronco in the parking garage downtown. Saw the guy next to me trying to back out of his spot. He gunned it and hit the front bronco steel bumper. The front corner of his car got tore up, signal and reflector pieces everywhere.
He never stopped, he floored it away.
I didn't care. I was laughing, not a scratch on the bronco

Ugh, sorry to hear that. Makes me so mad reading about these break-in’s and accidents. I had someone hit my Jeep one night and not leave a note. Thankfully the damage was minimal but it was still about $1,000 to repair.

Hopefully your neighbours or someone has video footage. It seems like everyone has cameras nowadays, and even a camera down the road could prove helpful if there was a vehicle that passed by with damage to it. Don’t give up!

I would be putting a 4 wheel parts rear bumper on! That's my plan anyways but everyone has their own preference.

Sorry to hear this. This sort of thing is why the very first accessory I installed was the front/rear camera.

It detects bumps when the truck is in park and records, you probably could've at least gotten a plate number.

Good luck friend!

My wife traded a little paint with a car pulling out of a spot. She left a note. They guy called and said he had been hit and run a bunch of times and he was so happy she left a note he wouldn't take any money even if she offered.

Buy yeah, this is why steel bumpers were mandatory for me. Maybe would not have prevented this but would have f-d up the other car.

Dude, sorry. People can be such @$$holes!

This is why I installed the BlackVue DR750X-3CH-PLUS in my OBX. May not catch everything that might happen, but will catch more than not having it at all.

Good luck!

While this is still a shitty thing to have happen better the bumper than something that would disable the vehicle?
