Default Identifying JK Freedom Tubular Bumper End Caps (Resolved)

Hello!

On a recent trip through the bush I rubbed up against a tree and popped out a plastic cap at the end of my bumper. The first time it happened my spotter happened to find it, the second time it was lost in the mud.

I have called a few Jeep parts departments, but haven't been able to locate the part. The problems comes from my not knowing what the bumper is called. I believe it is the "Freedom package" bumper, but I'm not 100% sure.

Below is a picture of a JK I found online with the same bumper. The part I'm missing (marked by the red arrow) is one of the plastic end pieces of which there are two on either side.

Any help in locating this part would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

I found the part in a service manual I downloaded. I always find it frustrating when I search for something and find an unanswered forum post so I'll answer my own question.

The part number is:
04897577AA

Here is a diagram:


Now to find a supplier :-/

I believe the package they came with here was named the "Urban Package" however on US websites they show up as "tubular bumper, chrome or black powdercoat". Might have more luck ordering online from one of the US-based suppliers (moparparts.com, etc) & having it shipped here rather than trying to locate it here (I've found from experience that while here in OZ you often are required to buy the entire assembly of a Chrysler part from the dealers at inflated prices, the US online suppliers will sell individual components and sub-assemblies & with our dollar the way it is now it will usually work out much cheaper, even with shipping).

Have you tried generic places like Clark rubber etc for pipe plug ends? Might be chapter and easier to grab a few for anytime you lose one.
