Unintentional mod to front bumper

So this morning I was parking at school and there was a pipe sticking up out of the parking lot at the front of my spot. Well needless to say the top was about bumper height and I smacked it.

I go to back out and it has pushed my bumper back to where it rubs my tire. It doesn't look like anything is bent. Is there some kind of slotted bolt hole or something I can adjust to fix this so I can drive.

BTW I have the stock bumper and 32s.

Yeah, I've tweaked mine a couple of times too. There are 3 bolts per side. Two on the frame rail for the braket. Another behind the turn signal (area, don't remove the housing :) that goes through a rubber block, you can reach it from below or from inside the wheel well. Loosen 'em up, get it in position, and tighten it all back down.

Thanks OffroadX. I'll try that in a minute and get back to you. I'm glad some of you stay on here all day at work.

Work? What's that? I haven't had to report to work since December 3rd, and I was officially laid off on January 31st.

It's been nice, but I need a job again,

IF that is what Princess Mononoke says then I will agree :-)

No, the economy. The whole company is being shut down.

Yea, the part-time postings here at school are getting to be slim pickings.

And for my bumper all I adto do was loosen the two bolts on one side and yank out and voila! tighten em up good as new. Thanks again OffroadX.

A lot of the X owners are net-heads and IT folk too so they are online all the time...particularly in the NW.

Also, I dont know where you are located but I assume its south. There are a surplus of like new bumpers floating around due to ARB upgrades so if you ever trash the front bumper beyond repair post a message and youll probably get a free replacement.
