What does everyone do with their stock bumpers?

[Padre]

I have never bought a new jeep before. So just curious, what does everyone do with their stock bumpers after they replace them?

Sell them, give them away or toss them. Depends on which bumpers you have and if there is any demand locally to sell them.

they are stock Mojave bumpers and I just wasn't sure if there was any demand for them.

There is. Sold a basic plastic one off my overland on marketplace for $200.

Try a quick search on Craigslist and see if any are for sale. Or even check the classifieds on this forum and see what others are doing.

Cut mine up and threw it in the garbage, I haven't found much demand for take off jeep parts.

Steel bumpers have a huge demand and bring a good amount of money.

I always keep mine in the barn. Nobody, myself included, keeps a Jeep long term. And when the time comes that you decide to trade if off you can throw the stock bumper back on and keep the nice one to reuse on the next Jeep, or sell for more profit than the stock one would bring.

Don't ever throw away stock Jeep parts. In the future, there will be demand for them.

With most of my large stock car parts that don't have a huge market I typically will put them in my crawlspace and list them on the forums for free - out of sight out of mind. When I move then the next owner of this house can have them if they're still there lol

First Jeep- I should have done this. From what I’ve gained in selling the: wheels and tires, bumper, side steps, etc I’d have been better off to keep them.

For me, all this talk of selling and ordering again would be easier to take advantage of. Easy:
1: return my Jeep to OEM, sell it, put stuff on new jeep.

Now I’d need to sell it as is (likely lose) and start all over again which is SPENDY. OR- Order new one, swap all stuff between the two when it arrives, then sell.

I noticed that here, . I guess my family is just weird. I bought my TJ in 2009 and sold it this year to make room for my Gladiator. My brother has had the same TJ since 2002 I think. I think those of us who keep them a long time get pretty sentimental about them.

As for bumpers, I've never swapped one out. I took the rear bumper off my TJ to fit the larger spare(I was ridiculously frugal) and kept it in the garage, but lost it some where in one of my several moves over the years.

I just dont have the “guts” to get rid of my plastic bumpers. Sitting on a shelf in garage.

Wifey will eventually make decision for me. ?

Convince me to toss them!!

Sold my takeoff mojave steps and plastic bumper on craigslist. Steps went to someone who didnt want sliders and bumper went to another mojave owner who said his wife ran into their mailbox lol So gave him my skid plate too

In past I've gave away OEM bumper (s) side steps center console then to find out the person who I gave them to sold them. I gave them to him to fix his Jeep.? That had been wrecked and console broken in to, the side steps so his wife could get in. They was after he asked me what I was doing with them.
