Looking for Mopar Rubicon Steel Bumpers

[Phantagyro]

I have the stock plastic bumpers with sensor holes on my JL rubicon. I am looking to buy used Mopar Rubicon steel bumpers for the front and back with red hooks. Does the front steel bumper have to have sensor holes? Do I also need the steel skid plate? If anyone has the Mopar steel bumpers with red hooks for for sale please let me know. I am located in southern California. Thnx

I have the Mopar steel bumper on my Sahara.

Comments:

1. While you don’t need the skid plate, the plastic air dam won’t bolt onto the steel bumper. The shape of the bumper and the mounting points are totally different
2. You only need the front bumper IMHO. The rear plastic bumper looks just like the steel bumper. If you keep the rear plastic bumper you won’t need to worry about the backup sensors. Besides, owners of JLs with the rear steel bumper complain that in a minor fender bender, the rear steel bumper ended causing more damage to the body than the plastic bumper
3. Before COVID I paid $900 for a new front Mopar bumper at BAM Wholesale. It came with the red hooks and the LED fogs. If I were to buy the LED fogs separately, I’d have to pay $500 just for the pair
4. To my knowledge you cannot get the forward parking sensors in N.A. They are offered in the EU but not here. Not sure how your JL ended up with them

Good luck.

Thanks so much! Appreciate the info. I am gearing towards the front bumper for now. Are the tow hooks interchangeable? I have red and want to keep those. The 392 have to gold ones.

Yes, they are.

My buddy here in SoCal is swapping his 392 steel bumpers out for aftermarket. Not sure if you’re interested.

 

[Phantagyro]

Yes, would be interested. Please have him contact me.
