I finally took off the Warn bumper cover because the valance was binding up with the grill when I opened the hood.
It was a little worse off than I originally thought. I knew it was nearly an inch narrower than it used to be and had flexed back on both sides enough to hit the body mount tabs, but it really held a bend in the center.
The Warn winch mounting underneath is all in good shape and apparently has not been deformed at all by the constant beating on the bumper. I got a new Warn bumper cover and SMA steel valance with PIAA 520s from Frankster to mount back in it's place once I get the truck back and get the bumper and valance painted up the same basic black.
