And yes, mine will be in the for sale section soon. I Just ordered a bunch of parts for the Jeep, just waiting for delivery and install.


That is a lot of money for some silver plastic. That is seriously overpriced.

Default Sahara Silver Bumper Trim

Hi everyone,

I just took off my front trim and will be taking off the back trim next weekend. If anyone is interested in buying them, please PM me with an offer.

I hadn't even considered it being able to be removed. For that exact reason I bought the SILVER '08 so the bumper would blend in. LOL

Has anyone else checked on prices or is the cost of $150-$180 the real deal?

Hopefully you did not void your Warranty by removing those. You could have upset the balance of the vehicle which strained the drive train thus caused the engine to over rev and so on. Think that’s where the "limited" part of Limited Lifetime Warranty gets you. Also it could contribute to roof leaks.

Sorry Just bored at work today.

I went ahead and started painting the silver covers to match the body. I'm not finished yet, still need to finish the clear coating, but you get the idea here. Looks better, but still not sure if I'll keep it. I'll just need to see what ot looks like finished and whether I want to do the back then as well.
