Default I guess I might finally get that aftermarket rear bar...

Got clipped on the back on the way home. Ripped the bumper off at least half its plastic screws. Any comments on the current crop of rear bumpers for JKs?

OEM ones are $1114 from the dealer, I'm thinking there should be some around that will fit that budget.

Try online at Quadratec or a Mopar parts reseller: https://www.allmoparparts.com/ or CJ ponyparts

Yes, I've been looking at Quadratec as I've bought from them before, also Morris, SBR, DBOR, Jeepkonnection, Uneek, and several others.

More looking for any feedback that people who have them might give at this point.

And after noticing a slight vibration yesterday I took the wheel off, chockedthe others & let it idle in 1st while checking the hub. Yep. Axle has a slight bend & the hub isn't running true any more. Not surprising as the wheel took most of the impact.

I'm pretty sure I've got my OEM plastic rear bumper from my JK stored under my house with all the brackets.

I'm also sure I've got brand new 3.8L raidiator hoses there as well you can take.

A bottle of Kraken Black Spiced rum should cover it if you want it.

Thanks all the same, but I won't be needing it.

Full comprehensive insurance & a 'not at fault' claim. At the least I'll end up with it all replaced with OEM.
