the best fix for crack remove bumper,from inside put two layer fiberglass .then from outside grind plastic around crack and put single layer fiberglass and body filler for finish,and it's done.my rear bumper driver side bottom was with 2inch crack i done the same job and i sure it's will not crack again in the same place 8)

Just had a look at your photobucket. Did you own the blue cab B6 pro. Looks a lot better with the tech 1 kit on it than when I last saw it when groovy lee owned it. Do you live near where it came from if so you are near me :D
