You won't have to remind me not to ride with mills, especially if he has his cell phone with him !

But yeah, have it checked by a good shop to make sure nothing funny went on with the frame, then get an aftermarket bumper. Voila!

New Bumper Time..
Well the estimate for the damages was a little over $1000.00. This sucks I have a $500.00 collision deductable. I gotta figure out the best way to go with the new front bumper now. Not sure whitch one to go with. Does anyone have any idea what bumpers
to stay AWAY FROM? I just want a good bumper for a good price, not some overpriced decoration. You know what I mean.
Thanks!

I bet you can find a stock take off in the for sale/give away part of the forum. OR you could get an OR-Fab bumper, we have stubbies, mid-widths and full widths.... OR-Fab | Off-Road Fabricators | HOME

I just it my Rugged Ridge XHD Bumper with Winch plate and factory fog light holes for $217 shipped on Amazon. I can buy or make full width plates that bolt on for when i want a full bumper or keep it like this stubby.
I would suggest looking around at bumpers. E-autogrilles on eBay has a very popular bumper that is cheaper than most others out there. They're basically "knock-offs" of Smittyybilt bumpers. There's a nice long thread "i did the unthinkable" that talks all about them. 95% of the people on there have been happy. Couple had issues and I think only 1 person they didn't resolve his issue, but there's over 100 guys that have bought the bumpers, with few unhappies, be good to look into.

For your and your Jeeps' sake --- Get a Bluetooth speakerphone !
It's small, cheap, and saves bumpers...

I'll up you one. Happened on the 24th this week. Hit a patch of black ice going uphill and the road curved. The car slid right off the road down the side into those trees. Thank god for them though or it wouldve rolled and I might not be posting this. 3 guys in the car all walked away with no injuries.
