JL Bumper Frame Dimensions?

[Wrangler73]

Anyone close to their JL? I drive a commuter to work due to distance, so dont have my JL handy until tonight.

Found an aftermarket rear bumper that quotes the following:
40.25" inside to inside mounting brackets
Inside to inside bumper 63.5"
Outside to outside bumper 70.5"

Wondering if this fits JL or JK. Its at a shop that removed in a take off and cant confirm it it came off a JL or JK

Thanks for any assistance. Good price so I'd scoop it up if I knew it would fit JL......

It's 39.5" from where the bumper would need to slide around to bolt up.

Thanks for that! Damn too short. Must be off a JK. Thanks again

Looks like outside to outside of a jk is 46.5" so not quite sure what that bumper would be off of.

Interesting guess its the mystery bumper. They said pulled off of a Wrangler. Ill let someone else try to modify it. I dont have the skills lol

Probably best to call Quadratec and confirm, but their site shows it out of stock but for the 18-22 JL:

Or call Paramount Automotive (909) 781 - 6492
They have what appears to be a similar bumper on their website.

Thanks. Cant ever get anyone from Paramount on phone. I will measure tonight.....looks like JK and JL have significantly different mount up dimensions I should be able to figure it out...Good price on used bumper but research shows Paramount doesnt have a good reputation on finishes etc. Thanks

I’ve learned not to trust other peoples measurements (the seller) unless you’re holding the smart end of the tape measure…but maybe you have no choice in this scenario.

I thought I would take Jeep tomorrow and go take a look. 4wd shop is 0.75" off from Blues Fan 30's actual measurement above so it's probably for a JL...but I see a lot of complaints about Paramount not holding up their end of the stick on warranty so thats concerning.....Shop couldnt confirm what they took it off of....so probably best to physically measure onsite anyway if going to consider it.
