Gjeep Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I was at the San Jose South Pick n Pull today and there's an 89 MJ with a perfectly straight rear bumper. The bumper is black, end caps are shot. Some one who needs it should grab it.
ggcnash Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Man go grab it those things sale for a pretty penny in good shape. Use the money you make on something else for the MJ
johnj92131 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Problem with bumpers and the like is the cost of transportation when you sell them. So you buy the virgin bumper for $40. What do you think it will cost to pack and ship across the country? Maybe $50? So the question is how much will you pay for a good bumper. I know one fellow here who has a very nice one but nobody will pay $200 for a nice stock bumper here on the Comanche Club. We are all just much too cheap for that.
Bonkers Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I won't pay $200 +s/h for a NOS bumper let alone "nice." However, for a rust free example with a few dings $125 shipped isnt out of the question.

Strokermjcomanche Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I know some people up here in the northeast would buy one at $150 plus shipping . It seems that everyone decides to hit my truck(s) in the rear so I'll be holding on to my nos bumpers .
Bonkers Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I'm still shocked there is no aftermarket on these. They can't be that expensive to stamp out, especially considering i can pick up a front off amazon for less than $50 prime...

I talked to the product manager at Omix Ada at Bantams Jeep Festival last weekend where they had 7 completely restored vehicles on display . I asked him about reproducing some Comanche specific parts like fuel sending units , tail lights, cab corners , rocker panels and rear bumpers . He said there was not a big enough demand or market to remake parts for the Comanche . He did however say he would talk about remaking the fuel sending unit and if sales were good maybe they would consider doing more parts . He said don't get your hopes up but he would TRY .

Actual market demand is the problem. That means people who want AND are willing to spend their money on a remade product. Lots of people want, but most are not willing to part with the money required.
