Which oem bumper part do i need?

[milrgo]

Wife had a small fender bender. Very minor damage. But the Jeep is basically brand new so I would like to repair this damage to the front bumper. Can anyone point me to which part I need? I think I found the entire bumper cover can be replaced.. is that my best move here? Can I do that swap myself? I am a stock guy so just looking to keep it stock oem.. no steel or aftermarket bumpers. Would appreciate any insight from those with experience. This is the front bumper on a 2024

Sport model (I think other models the bumper is slightly different?).

Check the member marketplace to see if anyone is selling or giving away one. The bumper is relatively easy to swap yourself.

This! Look on market place for the NE, typically OEM plastic bumpers are dirt cheap, hell I gave away the plastic Rubicon bumper just to get it out of my garage

Craigslist is usually a half decent spot to track down used inexpensive parts. Just as long as the seller doesn't call the parts vintage, rare, or hard to find... lol The link above is in that general area, and for 50 bucks, includes fog lamps (and I'm guessing harness also). Good luck...

Thanks for the find. I will try Craiglist. I think that one you linked has led fogs and I’m not sure if it’ll work on my sport. The design is a little different

I'm pretty sure the bumper should be a straight up swap. Disconnect the harness on the passenger side. Remove the 8 bumper nuts, remove your damaged bumper. Slide the replacement on, put the 8 nuts back and torque them down, connect the harness. I'd leave the LED fogs in and see if you can run them without any canbus/error codes. If you get errors, swapping the fogs out is fairly straight forward and easy also.

why not go to the OEM stock rubi bumper. you can also get the same stock bumper in aluminum. both look much cleaner and will not fade as fast as the stock plastic bumpers to. MP concepts makes the aluminum version

thats the factory steel yes. you can find them much cheaper on Craigslist or even on the forum. there is also a knock off on ebay from china thats 350 brand new. or you can go the MP setup thats around 700 new

That is a steel rubicon stubby bumper. If you go that route, make sure you get the whole kit. Stubby, steel skid plate, and lower horn brackets. WITH all the hardware. It is a nicer looking setup, and way easier to install a winch. Just pay close attention to the amount of weight you're adding to the front of your jeep.
