AverageJoe10 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 So the other day looking at my MJ front bumper I noticed the end caps went around the outside of the front fender flares. Which is weird because when I started looking at all the other stock MJ and XJ front ends, I can only find pictures of end caps that cut off before the get to the front fender flares. In other words they mount flush to the edge of the flares vs mine that wrap around the outside and then bolt up behind the flares. Very minor detail but I'm curious as to why mine is different? As far as I know these are the stock bumper ends but maybe someone can shine some light on the matter? And then this is just an example of a typical one (not my truck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Someone might chime in and agree but those kinda look like the archer brothers bumper end caps but like the chopped off the bottom portion for a more clean look. Or theyre later XJ but they don't look very later XJ to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 That’s what I thought also. Here’s the reproduction from offgridresearch. Have you added yours to the registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe10 Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Woah. Interesting. Just seems odd because my MJ is as base model as you can get. And from what I was told the previous owner and the original owner left it pretty much stock Wonder how these ended up on the jeep. It also looks like it has the stock Colorado red underneath the PO crappy spray paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoe10 Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Looked at it a little more closely this morning and it has definitely been cut at the bottom. Thanks for the find guys! Now I'm curious as to why they put these on in the first place Probably going to buy new stock ones. As imop they original ones look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 They probably had the whole air dam and hit too many curbs and broke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off the condition of the rest of the exterior, that's probably most likely exactly what happened A shame cuz would have been cool to have it all intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
