To repair or not to repair, that is the question

[BAULSAUL]

I received both of these bumpers at no charge from a friend of mine. The golden eagle is off a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and it was put on my buddies Gladiator. The stubby is off of an older wrangler. Both were involved in some accidents and need some work done. Are either of these ones worth my while? I’ve looked at the part diagrams but I don’t know exactly what I would need. or if it’s worth my time or not. I was going to buy the rugged Ridge Arcus if I can not keep my budget under a few hundred bucks or 400 bucks, because at that point, it’s probably worth it to keep one of them. The Golden Eagles a great looking bumper and I know they are the same thing but it’s in pretty good shape. Let me know what you guys think and if you could provide me with any details on what I would need. i’ll throw in a photo of my Gladiator just for fun

i’ll attach photos of the golden Eagle attached to his Gladiator and both bumpers in my possession. Both of these were a whopping total of zero dollars. So perhaps the cost repair may be worth it. I am sure that somebody in this group has gone on this road before.

Unless you have the time, skills, tools, and facilities to do the repairs, I would not bother with them. Strip off the pieces you can get some money from, and sell the rest for scrap.

I would consider the full width bumper, depending on the cost of the repairs. I would want it to look nice and match, so it would need repair parts for both sides. If you have to pay someone to do the work, it is probably just better to buy a new one.

My concern would be that some parts seem to be formed metal, that may be a pain to try to repair. So may not be worth time and cost to do so.

That being said if want to do it for fun or just to do a project to say you did it more power to you. Especially if you've are already setup or know someone who is setup to do metal working and painting.
