This past weekend I found a deep gouge in my rear bumper. Someone must have misjudged their parking skills and my rig paid the price. The good news, this part is sold separately for about $100.

Question: Has anyone replaced this? If so, do I just need to remove the plastic retainer clips and remove this piece or does the whole bumper need to come apart? Curious if I can just leave it on the Jeep as well. I called the service/parts department at my local dealer, and the parts manager didn't quite know the answer. The part is below. Thanks in advance.

In your shoes, I would probably remove the bumper all together. Working upside down, "criss-cross apple sause" was not fun even for the 10 minutes it took to install my backup lights, I couldn't imagine dealing with plastic clips and whatnot.

If my OEM rear was damaged I would replace it with another style
Great point, but it's totally limited to that part, it's $103 shipped.... and, it's Christmas. $500 bumper or buy presents for others.

If you’re patient, I found a complete bumper off of an Overland (what I have) in perfect shape for $50. Lots of people sell them super cheap when they upgrade.

I REALLY appreciate that but I placed the order already. Thanks for the note.
