You'll find that the bracket underneath the bumper probably looks like a pretzel. It'll need to be replaced, too. I had to replace the entire front bumper on ours a few years ago and the damage didn't look as bad as what's in your pic. I found one on CL for $200.
Yes, I always read about these free or $100 stock bumpers but there were absolutely none in my area. $200 was still less than our insurance ded. so I figured I came out ahead.
removing is simple, there are several youtube videos on how to. One point of advice is you will likely wreck the plastic rivets that hold the spacer and air dam on. Go to your local auto parts store and stock up on some. Actually, the best way to get them off is to drill them out anyway
That is an awesome offer! But Someone here offered me one via PM for $50 and it isn't too far from where I live (an hour). Waiting to hear back from him/her.

I would make sure my son is there to share in all the festivities of replacing bumper and he might actually end up like wrenching. I can still remember the times me & my old man were working on his truck. But then again, this could turn into the "dad, if I had my own late model Jeep.....".....never mind...forget I said anything. Haha
He will be there. I have two boys (and a daughter). Unfortunately, the one that bumps into things (sometimes HARD!) is the one that will design the bumpers of future cars when he gets out of Lawrence Tech University but hates actually touching them. He will won't like working on it but he needs to learn to pay attention while driving and getting dirty in the cold will be a good reminder. My other boy loves to work on the cars with me. He is usually trying to take the tool out of my hand so "he can do it better". He is often correct.
I have one I took off the 3rd day I had my jeep. You can have it. I have offered it to others and every time they want me to ship it somewhere not going to it. I live in Rockford, MI
Met rldunn and adopted his front bumper for the $50 fee. Need it to warm up so I can put it on.
