Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I know another rear bumper thread, what are good replacement bumpers, particularly step style with the little diamond plate design on top bumper sources? They can be Ranger, S1- Cherokee Dakota I don't care as long as looks similar and the fit is right, I'm not worried about mounting, I can fab/weld that. p.s. not a fan of the Gladiator rear bumper swap. New vendor or used, don't care. Mines been hit pretty hard. I've looked at Craigslist and marketplace in my area. something like this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Fey bumpers are popular. They are a generic replacemt step bumper. Google brings up multiple places to purchase. My truck came with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 I got this on Fey's site...

acfortier Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 This is what's listed for a '92, which should be the same? https://www.westinautomotive.com/fey-diamond-step-bumpers/1992/jeep/comanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acfortier Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I think you'll need the brackets, too? Not sure how they hook up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they hook up. maybe, Summit didn't have them, would have to either order through Summit from the manufacture or direct. I'm going to see what I need after removal of bumper, I may already have what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Front bumper will get a repaint and square replacement foglights, also gotta wire up the sport bar lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I love my Fey bumper. Fits the style well and is quite heavy duty. I've put way more load than it's rated for in the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camjeep3 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Id agree. Ive never seen a factory bumper in person. But I see lots of mangled ones in pics. The fey is stout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 My factory bumper is probably repairable, and will not be keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I think results weren't popping up for you because you have an 86. Does the 86 have different mounting points/brackets than the 87+? I know some of the unibody frame is different around the front of the vehicle. The brackets you may need are 97900, but you may be able to use your factory hardware.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Not sure, it's going to be exploratory surgery lol, I may reuse modify original or fab up from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 And your right, not a lot of anything pops up for the 86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The Fey bumper has 2 sets of mounting points, so you should be able to get it to fit. Maybe you'll have to use some spacers? When I added a hitch to my MJ I had to fab some 1/2" spacers because the bumper wouldn't fit on the original brackets in the same position, because of the added width of the hitch plates.

Armyvet25 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 I may also undercoat the inside of the bumper regardless of how it comes, to give it some added protection from rust out when it catches everything that tends to sit inside the bumper before it gets cleaned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armyvet25 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 I love Summit Racing here in Talmadge Ohio, the epitome of professionalism, I talked to the guy on the phone to make sure I was getting the right application, and he even took my order over the phone even though I have an online account with them, and Voila---it will be here TODAY!!!!
