Default Mopar Front Off Road Bumper Availability

Does anyone have any information on when, if ever, the Mopar Front Off Road Bumper (#82213575) will become available again? It's been on National backorder for quite awhile & so far no one that I've spoken with has any idea why or for how long it will be on backorder. Any ideas or where/who I can check with to get a better idea of how long this wait might be?

Thanks - I appreciate any information I can get. I've read numerous posts from others & my dealer (who has been very helpful overall) is not able or willing to provide any information.

Any particular reason why you want a mopar front bumper? There are so many bumpers that are better than Mopar. ARB makes a good one AEV, LOD etc..... They all have winch plates built in and most accommodate OEM fog lights. I dont think that Mopar even has Clevis shakle mounts...

No problem. We will let you know what we find out.

As the post above mentioned many other manufactures make bumpers with the winch and OEM fog lights. We have the Rugged Ridge XHD Mod installed. We have made it a stubby with the bull bar for our latest set up.

XHD Mod Full Width w/Bull Bar

XHD Mod Stubby w/Bull Bar

Tons of other options as well.

Wow I didn't realize that Mopar bumpers dont incorporate OEM fog lights. Another reason not to get one.

You can get them with or without fog cutouts and with or without winch mount

I like the Mopar because I get a very good discount from the dealer I bought from & there is no freight so total cost is an advantage when purchasing front & rear. I also like the Warn & will go that way as a second choice. LOD full width is also a consideration but more costly than I can get with either Mopar or Warn.
