I really like our 4d Rubicon----But the bumpers are a joke,the rear is all plastic and the front is not much more. Jeep engineers need to get out into the real World.

 

It is easy to put a crappy bumper on when that is all you know. They were counting on the aftermarket to make a good bumper.

 

I like the bumper. Even more I think it is great that every time I bang it up, I can come on here and get a free replacement

 

the dealer installed my mopar bumper, when I went to pick up my jeep, I asked about my original bumper and they told me it was already in the trash, that got me a bit upset, so I told them to go get it so I could take it with me. I had to go dig it up with one of the mechanics(it was actually in the trash) so i took it home with me, now I wonder why I did that, since it's probably going into the trash again one of these days.

 

They're going for reduced weight to improve overall mileage. Pure and simple.

 

Only soccer moms keep the stock bumpers I'm glad they put crap ones on it keeps the price down so we have more $$ for mods !

 

Never thought about it like that, good call!

 

I surely wouldn't consider myself a soccer mom, but you are entitled to your opinion.

Personally, I would rather put my money into other mods before the bumpers- but that is just me.

 

surprisingly they do the job when struck by a fast moving dodge neon.. I have a mopar rock bumper for the front now,, for the new JK but the stock one did what it needed to do.. and when you know making these that 95% will never see off-road it be a waste for the factory to use the precious steel wasting it on celebrities or wannabees in Hollywood with 22 dubs...

 

I would have kept my stock front bumper longer. But there were too many trees, too many rock and too much tire rubbing to keep it.
