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.

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

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.

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.

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:

actually the area that is rusted would have to be scavenged off a rear bumper.
