Default Damaged frame rails?

So my girl's jeep was in a crash and the bumper folded. The bumper mounts got twisted around like an ice cream cone and the bit where the mounts attach to the frame rail crumpled in the rail. Is there any way to fix this other than plasma cutter and tig welding?

EDIT
Pics:




L-R we have the new bumper mount, the old passenger side mount and the old driver side mount. whoops.

Thanks for all the input, guys and gals.

three-foot pry bar and some elbow grease got her 90% back. Close enough to get the new bumper and mounts to fit again. woot!
