'91' XJ rear bumper R&R: bolt-on?
I've got a large dent in the rear bumper of my 91 and I was thinking about
replacing it. Is the rear bumper on a '91' XJ just a bolt-on? Rather than
buying new would junkyard parts work for this? I'm hoping my Haynes or Chiltons
will have something on how to R&R the rear bumper.

Re: '91' XJ rear bumper R&R: bolt-on?
Should be a bolt on, but I have not changed my rusted out chrome one yet.
It's brackets are rusted too, but I have one new bracket for it though! lol
I have seen new painted rear bumpers go pretty cheaply on Ebay, but you will
need to replace the end caps on them and of course paint the bumper.
Junkyard should be fine, and I am looking for a nice rear chrome bumper for
mine either Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Hopefully you will find the color that you need! ;-)
Spray the bolts with a good penetrant over a period of days!! PB Blaster
comes to mind.

Re: '91' XJ rear bumper R&R: bolt-on?
I've taken the bumper off a 89 XJ to replace the rusty brackets and on a 96
to put on nut strips for a trailer hitch. As VWDoc says spray the 4 bolts
per bracket to the frame paying special attension to the backside or front
facing part. they were very easy to get out on both XJ's. Just use a box end
wrench and go up between the body and bumper.
