I guess next time I know not to buy Mopar accessories!:rotflmao1:

I've got a friend that sales Jeep parts, let me see if I can help.

I feel your pain, I broke the retaining clips (holding the plastic crush can) on my Mopar bumper while off roading.

It's basically just hanging on now by one screw...went to the dealer to replace the crush can cover, and was told I need to purchase a new bumper ??? WTF.

This could be as simple as extra weight altering stock stopping distances

Of course check with your carrier to be sure. I know in the past that replacement parts did not need to be insured as accessories (e.g. an aftermarket bumper replaces a stock bumper).

My insurance agent told me that aftermarket bumpers and wheels are automatically covered up to a certain price (I forgot what that is, but I wasn't over it). So, I guess it depends on your carrier.

Use the crush cans off the stock bumper. Cut them off and weld them on the steel bumper.

JUST A THOUGHT!!!!

Alot of insurance deductables are anywhere from $500 to $1000 so if bumper cost is $475 .... :thinking:

Doesn't that make the insurance idea a mute point....not to mention If you make a claim they usually increase your premium to recoup the money they spent!!!!!!:yup:
