flint54 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I Know it's probably a waste of keystrokes, and I'm not the only one who wants one, but I've been good (to my jeep) all year, and would love to find one under the Christmas tree this year. I'll even pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotex Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Flint, Please educate me on why the OEM bumpers are so desireable, as I'm new to the scene. Is it just that guys like a 100% original truck, or is it that the aftermarket ones suck? Personally I would be just as happy with a homemade rock crawler style bumper, so i'm really curious as to what the big deal is. Also, what are they worth/going for? Being that I have one...

xjrev10 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just cuz it's original. They rot out fairly easy. I'd rather have a real heavy duty steel bumper then a stocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyt120 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 They've got to be some of the weakest rear bumpers I've ever seen. Thy can't take even the mildest of hits and everyone seems to love to back them into something! Though bumpers are designed to buckle under pressure to absorb some of the energy from the impact so... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flint54 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 As far as bumpers go, the MJ OEM unit is truly crap. They rot, they deflect if you rest your foot on it for more than 10 seconds, and they don't even look that good, BUT they are original and that alone motivates some of us. I've managed (so far) to not back into anything, but I suppose it can happen to anyone. I wish there were someone who made a new unit identical in every way except double (or triple) the sheet gauge. Biotex, if you have one, and you're thinking of gaining a few dollars towards a real, non-OEM bumper, send me some good inside and outside images to evaluate to (flint54@cfl.rr.com) and let's see where it goes. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
