Steel skid plate for bumper shortage?

[steffen707]

EDIT!!!!
Spoke with my local dealer and apparently you can't order the steel skid plate until 12/31/19 (anticipated) due to a supplier change.

Wonder if they stocked away enough of those bumpers for all the Rubicons and LEs......

6 months to resolve - that is really odd

That is not the correct part number for the bumper (82215121AB)
There are over 100 bumpers at dealers, I don't buy a shortage.

Glad I didn't select that option a few weeks ago...

I think it's $995 in the MOPAR catalog

Why would they change to a supplier that doesn't have the supplies available???

Or the capability to spit them out like NOW.

i was not able to order my Rubicon with a steel bumper on 5/22

Maybe they were forced into switching because of supply issues with their current supplier. Then they identified a new supplier however production that won’t be available until later this year. In production supplier issues happen all the time and it is not uncommon to switch to a new supplier even if it’ll delay orders.

I ordered also on 5/22 and could not order the steel bumper either.
