Need used rear bumper for Jeep cherokee in Chicago??
 

Anyone know a good used auto parts place for me to get a black rear bumper
for a 2002 Grand Cherokee. Also how difficult is it to put on/remove do I
need any special tools?

Thanks in advance all

Locations, dunno. I usually go OEM from buymopar.com or
chryslerpartsdirect.com

The usual shipping is grey plastic that has to be primed/painted.
Some repair places can fix cuts. Dents can be pushed out and
whitemarks can be erased by careful use of a heat gun.

Behind that bumper is a foam block and steel nerfs that crush on impact
so check to make sure you have all you need.

There are two plastic rails. One on each side. Those are a hard plastic
and can crack.

As for tools it's mostly held on by plastic pops. Getting those out
usually requires a screwdriver or needle nose pliers. New pops are
expensive but if your careful most can be reused. The local hardware
store will have mollybolts or similar that will work as replacements.
