89eliminator Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for a decent one, but if anyone has or knows of one lemme know please.
glundblad Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Just in case you are not successful, I couldnt find one in good condition around here so I had to go with a Fey. It worked out ok. It is far more substantial than the factory one but I would have rather had a factory bumper. I was able to use the factory license plate lamps. That made it look better.
Geonovast Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 If you build me a nifty custom one you can have the one off my 2.5

I think this is for his '92 Green Eliminator "Elenor" for resto... So I think its O.E.M. or bust. Rob L.

Geonovast Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I think Rob just got one you could use. It's even the same year! :rotf:
88mjmanche Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 i might have one let me look i will post pict
bigalpha Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I picked one up from the local junkyard, but it's going on my truck. However, I'll need to get rid of the one that's on there now. It's not the best, but you may be interested anyhow.
Automan2164 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I think Wade found one, but I don't know how rusty it is. Rob L.
89eliminator Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 yup, found one. minimal surface rust on the backside. should be good to go.
88mjmanche Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 ive got one with good bumper mounts but dented left bottom corner
89eliminator Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 ive got one with good bumper mounts but dented left bottom corner see post above yours...
89eliminator Posted April 1, 2010 Author Posted April 1, 2010 yup, found one. minimal surface rust on the backside. should be good to go. well i was wrong. started working on the bumper today and found some rust through spots so I'm back on the hunt. if worse comes to worse, i could patch it if i had to using pieces off my other bumper but i really don't want to do that.

It's not the best, but you may be interested anyhow. You might be surprised how much of that you can straighten out if you tried. I used a vice where mine was buckled (both mounts were buckled too), and jacked it under the weight of the house to un-Vee it in the middle. It looks like my MJ was pushed around by some piece of heavy equipment, since it punched a hole right through the passengers side. Even that looked 'OK' after welding it closed, and hitting it with some semi-gloss black. :yes: The U-haul hitch helped to make sure everything was straight (hitch wouldn't line up till the bumper was 'mostly' straight). I probably got 90% of the twist of mine out, but ended up putting some back in trying to line it up for the hitch. :doh:

I bet you could patch a rear bumper with a section of a front bumper (maybe). I never put them side by side, but the groove/detail looks similar. :dunno:

jimoshel Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 How can you tell a OEM from after market or one thats been modified to fit?
