When it comes to the Full Size Jeep (SJ) restoration, nothing defines the look of the vehicle quite like the bumpers. Whether you are driving a 1963 Wagoneer or a 1991 Grand Wagoneer, the bumper is the first thing people notice. At JeepHeritage, we specialize in high-end, Texas-made components that bring your truck back to life. Our bumpers aren't just replacements; they are upgrades.

For the pre-'79 SJ, we offer the classic three-piece bumper made of solid steel, including the center section and end caps. For the '79-'91 models, we've taken the original aluminum design and finished it in fresh, durable chrome—an aesthetic we believe looks even better than the original anodized finish. To ensure a perfect installation, we provide powder coated bracketry and stainless steel hardware. No guesswork, just smart design. These parts are used in our own frame-off Vigilante builds, ensuring they meet the highest standards of fit and finish. Upgrade your Jeep today with parts proven in the most elite restorations.

Pre-1979 Jeep SJ 3-Piece Front Chrome Bumper – Triple-Plated (Wagoneer, Cherokee & J-Truck)

Pre-1979 Jeep SJ 3-Piece Front Chrome Bumper – Triple-Plated (Wagoneer, Cherokee & J-Truck)

from $2,450.00

Complete your restoration with this immaculately restored three-piece front chrome bumper, designed for 1963–1978 Jeep Wagoneer, Cherokee, and J-Series (SJ platform) models. This correct factory-style assembly includes the center bumper section and both outer end pieces, accurately replicating original construction and proportions.

Each bumper assembly is professionally stripped, straightened, and triple-plated in chrome to achieve a deep, mirror-like finish that exceeds original factory standards. The result is a show-quality front bumper with exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and visual depth.

This three-piece front bumper is the same component used in Jeep Heritage professional restorations, making it an ideal choice for concours-level builds, high-end restorations, or premium driver refreshes where correctness and finish matter.

Optional Mounting Hardware Upgrade

For customers who want a complete, installation-ready solution, Jeep Heritage offers an optional stainless steel mounting hardware kit, developed specifically for this bumper.

The kit includes:

Six stainless steel carriage bolts
Locking nylon nuts
Stainless steel washers
Custom laser-sintered nylon interface washers

Our proprietary nylon washers are slightly domed and precision-shaped to compensate for the natural curvature of the bumper. Installed between the carriage bolt head and the chrome surface, they improve load distribution, help ensure proper seating, and reduce the risk of localized stress during installation—details developed and validated through our in-house restoration work.

This hardware upgrade is recommended for restorations where fitment precision and long-term finish protection matter.
