Mine was no problem to get. It was at dealer next day, meaning it was in the wharehouse. But BE CAREFULL! I went through 2 wrong bumpers before getting the right one! But I think the wrong bumper was in the box the first time around. Just be double sure before they ship it across a pond! Man, $1k? I paid half that, and since found it on line for even less than that from a dealer who sells on ebay. But that's in the US.

Thanks for that, I'll double check the part number before ordering. We get stung for shipping the parts over here but then again we're paying US$7 or $8 equivalent for a US gallon of diesel!

I read elsewhere on the thread that it's 82211715

Default best price?

What dealer is selling this bumper cheaper on EBAY? I am looking at pricing on this bumper.

I just spoke with the local stealership parts desk and he said $587, and that profits were too slim to come down at all. I like the looks of this bumper, and in the $525 range I would have one on by next week.

has anybody been able to get ahold of the the block-off (cover) plate for the winch ready bumper? this is the cover that plugs the gaping hole in the top of your winchless bumper.

if not maybe someone has fab'd something up?

looking for ideas.....don't have winch (yet) and would like to cover.

the dealer told me the official mopar part is not available.

mopar makes 4 Bumpers. with or without winch & with or without fogs. I have winch bumper with fogs but no winch yet and it really looks fine cause the opening is covered partially by plastic near the grill on top of the bumper. I put the plate right in front over the opening for the cable. looks great and is ready for future winch.

Got mine on finally. Product critique - a small piece of powder coat has already come off and started to rust (a DAY after I installed it! ). I think it is a great looking bumper but man, their quality is lacking for sure.

Here's a pic just after install:

Yeah after I put it on I was showing it off to my girlfriend and as I bent down I grabbed the front lip just above where the fairlead hole is. A half inch section of powder coat popped off. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic right away because I immediately put some rust fix on and painted it. (After cursing Mopar's name for a minute or two.)

I'm not too worried, one of these days I'm taking it off and getting it sprayed with some bed liner.

If anyone has sprayed theirs I'd love to see a pic!!
