Jeep guys...need help with a part name

[rOmiLaYu]

The hoop things on the back bumpers of Wranglers and older CJ's....what are they called? I guess they were designed to absorb impact? I'm "restoring" a CJ5 and they are missing but after an hour's worth of Google- fu, I can't find anything. Help?

These things ^ on the back bumper.

Yeah, bumperettes.

 

[Rambler]

Bumperettes are the correct name.

cool.Now we know.Bumper thingys no more

 

[HVACGuy]

Yes, bumperettes. I believe they were originally only on Willys military Jeeps. That useless flat rear bumper that was flush with the back of the Jeep, so you had to have something to work like an actual bumper.

Milk jugs are the plastic ones on the TJ's.
The "bumperettes" are the metal ones on the YJ's and CJ's

 

[rOmiLaYu]

Thanks, all. Apparently they were not factory equipment on CJ5's...just saved myself $150!

Yeah, they put those on the newer ones to absorb the impact of Costco shopping carts. Those things are pretty heavy.
