Hey there got a bent/broken piece of my bumper end cap right over recovery hook. Just wondering if I can buy an end cap or something that I can replace it quick? Not looking to buy a new bumper right now.

Also sorry if this is not the right place to post. Looked like the best place to put it.

Keep and eye out, you often see stock bumpers given for free.

I found a bumper that is off a 2013 jku. Mine is a 2011 just. Would it fit my jku?

Yes, they are all the same. And no, you have to replace the whole bumper, it's one piece.

You're location is listed as "United States," awesome, but this won't help people get you one locally cause the USA is rather large. Where are you located? I have one taking up space in my shed.

As Strizzy said, you have to replace the whole front bumper. The section under the silver appliqué is still solid plastic all the way across. The silver part is optional and usually only comes on the Sahara models. Rubi and sport bumpers will be all black.

Or remove it and keep the metal bumper only! I did and like it way better than the plastic piece. Just grind off the coffee can bumpers on the metal bumper and repaint. Save your $$ for other mods. LOL

Having trouble with the rubber grommet screws. Is there a trick to taking them off?

Is it broke, or just bent in? I was able drill a hole on the back side, and then pop it back out with a screwdriver. Letting the plastic heat up in the hot sun made it a lot easier.

Others have suggested a self-tapping drywall screw in the past. I just pried them off beast-mode style but that's because I knew I'd never be using them again. Try "gently prying" with a phillips-head screwdriver or bit for one-time removal. Destruction of them is assured via drill bit if you are sure you will never need them again. Removal might take some effort however.

Exactly haha. I just straight up ripped them out and had to use a long ratchet to break the rusty bolts loose. Overall it was pretty fun to work on my Jeep. It's a wayalife! Thanks for the help yall.
