Cool Mopar Bumper Manufacturer Bankrupt?

Im on my 3rd Mopar off road bumper as the previous ones all rusted out on the welds. My dealer informed me that they will be powder coating mine because the manufacture went bust and there are none left.
Is this true?

I hope they have gone bust because their quality is shiite.

Mopar reportedly has a new manufacturer in China who has begun production again. Too bad about the quality it is a great looking bumper it is better looking than the AEV (can't stand the AEV design) but I do know that the AEV is well built. Maybe Mopar's new builder will do better work.

The MW3 bumper will rust on you too. The one on mine already has rust and I've taken incredible care of it since I bought the Jeep in Nov.

Unfortunately here in Australia the euro spec front bumpers look terrible. It's getting powder coated now.
