05-07 Renegade Front Bumper Replacements?

[blue_kjR417]

So... tonight i was chasing some hoodlums down my road after they'd sat at the end of my brothers driveway for 20 minutes and after we ran them down the road i came back and set in the field next to his drive and they came back by so i took off right out of the field and forgot there was a nice ditch about 2 foot deep between the road and the field so i slammed my bumper nicely into the ditch bank and now i can shake it and it just flops around so i figure i broke the clips holdin it or somethin and theres a nice gash in the underside of it so i just wondered how much it'd cost to get a new one, even though i probably wont replace it. lol sorry for the lack of punctuation

I would find out what clips got broke, repair/replace them, and for the crack/gash just leave it... Well at least that's my opinion after seeing how much it cost to replace mine after the deer hit, over $500. Mine was obliterated.. Otherwise i know a guy that has a plastic welding kit that can fix stuff like this if its just a crack. But then you need to sand and fill if you want to blend it in, and then paint over the repair, etc. But it does work, he did it to the fenders on his quad and they turned out nice, can't see where the cracks were.

Otherwise of course there is the ARB. The only thing i don't like about that replacement is it leaves all the lower stuff exposed and unprotected. Washer fluid tank, bottom part of A/C condenser and trans cooler, etc... I would feel like i'm leaving stuff unprotected, yeah i know the factory is just plastic, but it still keeps flying rocks and crap from hitting those things more than the ARB would since its all hanging out.

Just doesn't have a finished look to it with the ARB.. I wish they would have made something with a bit more of a skirt down the front to protect that stuff and cover it up.

You can buy clips off Ebay for cheap.
