Geeto67 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Stopped by the body shop last Friday to check in on the Jeep. As some of you may know a co-worker's Nissan Altima decided to commit suicide against my jeeps bumper and I had Auto Body Specialists in Grandview take care of it. By the way A+ to them they have done a top notch job. Lucky for me the frame wasn't bent and everything checked out straight and true so they installed the new bumper: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/Geeto67/1995%20Jeep%20Wrangler/9796368B-FF88-42D5-9281-0D23F002CD31_zpsyzgqilht.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/Geeto67/1995%20Jeep%20Wrangler/401E7AA8-6092-434F-95BF-CB01339D6474_zpsanr3swtt.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/Geeto67/1995%20Jeep%20Wrangler/1BE04AD3-E903-4C08-84D5-95813045041B_zps7ogfdplc.jpg This is what she used to look like: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/Geeto67/1995%20Jeep%20Wrangler/CA9ED45F-1D5E-44E9-8DEF-3078B9DC109B_zpsxjvopms3.jpg and this is what it looked like after it totaled an Altima: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/Geeto67/1995%20Jeep%20Wrangler/59C91CD0-06AE-4FD0-9B14-881B5A465657_zps1x7pkw04.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/Geeto67/1995%20Jeep%20Wrangler/E71705C0-D70C-45B0-80AA-33D3F9341795_zpsncy8pynq.jpg I'm actually kinda bummed about the old bumper. Sure it looked dated but it was spun aluminum and not stainless steel. I have not seen another like it and it was really light weight (weighed less than a stock steel c channel rear bumper).

RyM3rC Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Too bad you couldn't get another aluminum one, seems like half the older jeeps I see around have rusted out bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 aluminum jeep bumpers are usually $700+. the one I had is discontinued, which sucks because there are no other alloy tube ones on the market. I paid over $300 for it in 1998 and that's about what the other guys insurance paid out on it - this was within budget. this one will probably start to rust and I'll repaint it at some point. Jeep bumpers aren't really meant to last forever, from 1995 to 1998 I went through about 5 of them, mostly banging them into tree stumps.
