So I got in a small accident this morning. No one was hurt, and my stock back bumper got a pretty big dent in it, but was the only damage done to either car... Anyways I'm getting 300 from the insurance, and I don't plan on spending that on another stock bumper... So what I'm asking of you guys is to give me some ideas for a good rear bumper in the $300-$400 range. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated... Thanks!!!

 

I'd put that into your upgrade fund and wait until you have enough money to buy what you really want. That way you only buy it once instead of upgrading again later.

 

I think the Rancho rear bumper/carrier is about the only one in that price range. It's a bare bones stubby looking thing, but has the tire carrier which is a plus.

 

You know CA-JK that's a good idea. Cause up until now I unfortuantely had no upgrade fund.

 

Heheh, as much as we all want that instant gratification--try and "do it right the first time" if you can help it. I see far too often where people end up upgrading the same part multiple times until they get it "right". It may seem costly at first to hold off for that part that is more expensive but factor in the cost that you've saved trying to get to where you want to be. (Reference all of the larger tire threads, bigger gearing threads, and taller lift kit threads on here to see what I'm talking about)

 

It doesnt matter, as soon as you think you have it the way you want it, then it has to be bigger, better, stronger. It never ends.

 

LOL Very true. Modding is addictive. I am finding myself looking for stuff to mod now that used to be completely off the radar when I first bought my vehicle.

 

"If" your lien holder requires seeing the Jeep fixed, try to find a used bumper in the give away section. Then put the money to use however you choose.

 

only $300? Did they give you any $$ for the labor? I was hit and just to change the rear bumper it was $489 with labor.
