'91' XJ: R&R rear bumper
Anyone got any gotchas or advice on R&R'ing the rear bumper on a '91' XJ?
The bumper has a nice crease in it where I backed into a parking pole that
was in my blind spot AND below the window height of the rear liftgate
window. I'm hoping to hit up a junkyard and get a matching bumper. Thanks in
advance.

I have both Haynes and Chilton's for your year... the
Chilton's doesn't even mention it, and the Haynes
glosses over it pretty quickly. Should be obvious.

Re: '91' XJ: R&R rear bumper
Very simple bolt on replacement. Be sure the donor is '84-'96. Should be
plentiful in the junkyards, but may be cheaper or even free if you ask
around your local Jeep club for someone who just upgraded.
