Default Who makes the Mopar Bumpers?

I have the Mopar rear bumper and tire carrier. Over the years, the rubber pieces between the tire carrier and stop plate on the rear door have warn through. It rattles and clanks going down the road.

I tried the local Jeep dealer, but they were worthless. They told me it was a kit and pretty much to bad... I have tried to search but can't find who manufacturers the bumper. Since they are still being sold, I would assume you can get parts for them, I just don't know who to call. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm 99.9% sure that it's a company called Crown that makes the off-road MOPAR bumpers.

Try a different stealership, they are all different. The one we had here was awesome, until Obama closed it...

I would go to Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace harwear and see what you can find for replacement rubber, hell sure you can find something that will work just as good and for a lot less

Do a Google search on "rubber bumpers"... You should find many types that you can use or adapt for this application.

Thanks, that looks like it! I went to there website and see they only work through authorized dealers. I called the local dealer and he is looking into getting the parts!

I tried to find something that would work at the hardware store, but nothing looked like it would work and stay on.

Cane tips from home depot. They probably have something that will slip right over your old ones and stay put

Default Mopar Parts

Did you try the Mopar website and look under Jeep parts? They show the bumper tire carrier combo their. Maybe someone there can come up with the parts or point you in the right direction.
