Find a stock bumper on Craigslist for under $100
It a very easy fix, craiglist & under 100.00 will get you another stock bumper.
Check out 4x4 shops, I got bumper, beam, hooks & foglights for $60
Check the MI Craigslist for a cheap or free one.
For a $100 bucks I will find another bumper. THANK You to everyone for the advise.

I suppose that there are youtube videos on replacing the bumper?

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

Jepr82 ~ You're awesome.

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.

Literally just wait lol. Someone in MI will get rid of their stock one eventually and give it to you for free. :) Just say you banged it on the trail :)

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
