A work around for the Steel Bumper issue

[LowOnCash]

It's not only a mean looking bumper - that's good looking truck my friend!

Hey bud, can you maybe help clarify the skid deal. I have a skid directly behind my factory plastic rubicon bumper. I believe that is for the sway bar disconnect setup. Is there an additional skid needed with the steel bumper?

It is not "needed" but is recommended by Jeep as extra protection. If you plan on doing some off road stuff, I would recommend it.

Thanks Dan. I plan on wheeling it regularly and due to winch plate fitment, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get the factory one. That said, who do you give the discount code to? The parts guys when ordering or the cashier? Thanks again.

Yes just let him know you have 15% off coupon, then give them the code. When I picked up it was already invoiced with the discount code.

Your post just reminded me that the parts guy is who creates the invoice so that makes perfect sense. I will follow up when I get pricing on all the parts for anyone interested.

Just ordered the 3 piece bumper complete with LED fogs from Brunswick Auto Mart BAM......$776 shipped! Then ordered the skid plate which has all the needed hardware for install delivered for 220!. So 990 bucks and I will sell the fogs for 100 and the front bumper for 100 bucks and I will be all in for 770!

Why do you think we can sell the factory bumper for $200-$300?

While I think the $200-300 seems high... I do imagine most Sport S owners would gladly take off their eyesore of a front bumper and put the Rubicon bumper on.

I priced out buying the repair parts and putting it together myself. The skid plate brackets are the same for both the regular rubicon skid plate and the steel bumper skid. I would be looking at $925 with everything but hardware which saves about $175 over buying the bumper as a completed unit and the skid plate. When you factor in the hardware, you still save money but not really sure it's enough to make it worth it.
