Default Crap



My fault (low speed hit on red light, never read paper mapquest directions while driving) no one hurt. No collision insurance on my cheap jeep, but now maybe I'll have an excuse to do this.



$240 shipped seems like a reasonable price to man it up a little. http://www.ebay.com/itm/150576783012...#ht_757wt_1396

With a bumper like that, you may want to check into that insurance thing.

My guess is he meant his insurance won't fix his Jeep only the vehicle he hit. I could be wrong though.

My bumper looked like that for a bit, except on the driver's side and no plastic caps on it anymore. I'd love a bumper but Jeep needs more important thing, so I just bent it out using a big pry bar (gotta love how 'strong' they are.. lol).

Correct. I don't know if I had collision that it would have paid,there might have been a deductable. Somehow the insurance company always figures out how to keep their money.

I might have to go with that for a bit. I finally have collected my parts for a budget boost also. Grand Cherokee springs and another set of nos leaf's.

Got a call from my insurance agent this morning. The other driver is fully covered under my liability, no deductable. I carry no collision, so I'm out of luck for payment.

I'm going to order that bumper and repair when it warms up enough to paint/bedliner it in the spring. I have the parts for my 2" baby lift (bastard pack/ZJ coils/extra isolators/bar pin extenders), so will probably do that at the same time. Maybe measure up the iron on the front bumper and build a rear at the same time to match. Shouldn't be to complex or expensive.

Man it up.

lol Yeah. It got torn apart and sold. Technically, you still have the lead as I wasn't driving this when it wrecked. It was mine but my ex-girlfriends brother wrecked it.

It somehow or another smacked face first into that creek bed and flipped over and landed right there.



Then it got stripped down naked.



OP, if you have a Pull a Part near you they sell they front bumper assembly for like 24 bucks. You're obviously going to need brackets too.

I was looking into that same bumper on eBay, is there a way to make the mounts stronger? I believe it only uses the three stock mounting holes and I'd be afraid to get pulled from it
