At least we know you had fun. Upgrade time to glass fenders and 37's.

Tonka,
it looks like the bumper might be ok. It looks like it's been shifted back and the frame is poking forward through it. I believe that's why the cap popped off on the drivers side.
I know it's a little late but a good way to protect against the fender damage against the A pillar is to pull the fenders out a tad by loosening the 2 attachment points under the hood. You loosen them and pull the fender out slightly so that when/if it gets shifted up it doesn't make contact with the pillar. This trick will also help make the existing crack smaller as well as it will relieve the stress.

Was a great trip other than me taking the truck for a nose dive off a little dune.
Haven't taken it apart yet but looks like I bent the bumper, main skid, pushed the driver side fender into the cab (looks like some brackets might be bent), paint also cracked on the fender too as well as where the fender, looks like the paint wore away where the fender slammed into the cab.
It's damn easy to mis-judge the back sides on some of those medium sided moguls, I hit a few and they fell away on the other side, you seemed to plow one pretty good.

Check the cab/bed and see if the cab has shifted forward. I've seen this a few times and it's been from the cab shifting forward on large impacts. It leaves a large gab between the bed and the cab.

Looks good to me.
