Alright, I didn't need to buy a new one, my dad and I thought we would try to fix atleast, before we spent $200 on a new one, so this is what we did.
First we got a slide hammer, and drilled some holes and popped it out somewaht, but nowhere where it needed to be.
So we backed up a trailor and hitched it to my dads Tacoma, connected a pull along to the trailor and to the impact bar, and than put 4x4's on jackstands so they rested on the edges of the impact bar, than started using the come along to crank it back into place!!
IT wasn't pretty, but I got the impact cussion on and it's pretty straight, I won't know if it's straight enough until I get the new bumper in and test fit it, it's just a little warped, but we might end up drilling out the spot welds and just perfecting it off of the car to make sure it fits.
Now I got to JB weld the headlight brackets together, save some money there, and put it all back together!
