Wow.. I am shocked to hear that... I mean really. Reunel is a small family owned company in my area. I've had one for 15 yrs and except for the normal paint chips from wear and use, it is as good today as it was when I bought it.

I will let them know of your experience.

It is rusting very bad on the areas where the welds were made. Must be the Chicago winters...

Starting to rust on the welds? Or has it rusted through the bumper?

the rust began on the welds, now it has spread to the actual 1/4" steel around the welds. This bumper is also painted to match the truck so it looks very bad.

Any ideas?

Someone pm'd me to rhino line it?
