Default JK minor accident "rear bumper"

So yesterday, I got into a minor accident, and got the left side of my rear bumper dented in. It does not look like it can be pooped out, but have yet to get a professional opinion.
I have found used rear stock bumpers in my area for quite cheap, and was wondering if they are eassy to take off and install. (not the most mechnaically inclined) Any ideas like always are appreciated.

Should be pretty easy, think you should also be able to find a write up somewhere. I saw this yesterday from another forum, where he made a stubby rear bumper from his stock bumper....could be an option. http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.p...r-Stock-Stubby

if you drill a hole in behind where it's dented, heat up the dented part with a heat gun and blow compressed air in the hole, it should pop most of the dent out....

the rear bumper comes off very very easily. Like 3 bolts a side and weights about 10 lbs LOL . Well not sure on the actual weight but its super light.
