Plastic front bumper cover cracked while the truck was just sitting. Pic attached

The top of my front bumper just cracked in the area of the parking/turn lamp lens. Didnt hit anything,....Truck actually has been sitting in the driveway,....and the Black plastic top portion of the bumper just cracked.

Guessing Im not the first one to have this happen, and wondering if anyone has discovered an acceptable fix for this?

My 03 front bumper is a bit different than that one, but I had a similar thing happen. Mine split right down the middle, no accident. Shitty plastics I guess? I think the solution is to buy an ARB.

I've been told they become brittle over the years, just from exposure. Shattered mine when I hit a deer at 35mph! Replacements are way expensive! Talk to Matt and Nathan at Platnum Motorsports, platnum222.com. They have a great custom winch bumper starting at $550.
