I got rear ended in Charlotte, NC last week. I was stopped behind a car at a red light, when I heard tires locking up behind me. I looked in the mirror just in time to see a Ford F-150 slam into me, and push my Gladiator into the car in front of me. I've waited years for this Jeep, and now it's been in an accident before its first oil change...
Luckily, nobody was injured, and the driver at fault has insurance. The trailer hitch receiver seems to have taken a lot of the impact, and will need to be replaced. The rear bumper has some damage under and around the license plate. Lastly, there's a small ding on my front bumper that nobody would notice unless they were really looking for it, but insurance will probably pay for a replacement.
So, now I'm in the market for some bumpers and a new trailer hitch receiver. I want a winch capable front bumper that is compatible with my OEM LED fog lights, and a matching rear bumper that is compatible with the parking sensors. I don't want anything too aggressive, and would prefer a factory OEM look. First thought that comes to mind is the Mopar 3-Piece Steel Bumper, and a matching rear bumper (If you're looking to get rid of either or both, chime in). I'm not opposed to aftermarket as long as it maintains a factory appearance and keeps the LED fog lamps and rear parking sensors. Any suggestions?
