Looking for Chrome Front Bumper 80 Cherokee Chief

Post by NorthMN »

My Jeep (80 Cherokee Chief) had a fight with the side of my garage and the Front bumper lost. Needing a replacement Chrome number and can’t seem to find one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

80-91 front bumpers are polished aluminum. '79 is the same bumper, but was chromed. They stopped chroming them as they found out chrome doesn't stick very well to aluminum.

For your application, any 79-83 WT Cherokee bumper will work, and any 79-87 J-Truck bumper will work. A Wagoneer bumper is not wide enough.

Thank you Stuka I wasn’t aware of this. Seeing that it’s aluminum I’m wondering if I can’t just try and bend the bumper back into shape. At this point I’m thinking that’s my only option since I can’t find a replacement bumper.
