Was going to say new fenders but guess not on yours, was thinking what I had would have to do on mine, so do you still have the original bumper? If so should not be too much of a problem. Do you still have the cans for in the front that covers up where the bumper bolts on, I think I still have my old ones somewhere if you need those, (down payment on what I PMd you about :wink:

) Shouldnt be too bad

Sorry, not much help with your question but wondering if you've already sold the bumper?? If not, how much??

Sorry I couldn't be more help

Sell it to someone local - get them to bring their jeep over
park them side by side
pull pieces off - swap parts stacks - put pieces back on...

I live in the city of Wilmington and am interested in swapping bumpers. do you need to beef up the front suspension when adding the bumper due to the increase in weight. I have an 06 crd

is your CRD lifted? i believe the standard CRD springs are good/beefy enough that it wont need any extra heavy duty springs

but im NOT positive.... i would post on the CRD forum and ask.... if itll work, im free everyday except wednesdays so lemme know

are CRD bumpers colored or gray like sports?

I've got a CRD and ARB - my lift has Daystar spacers under the stock springs up front.
it dropped about 3/4" when I put the bumper on.

(although it had gone up almost 4" when I put the spacer in- so some of that was normal settling - did the lift and bumper ~1 week apart)

hmm... the sliders, the diff guard, the roof rack... and possibly the rims and tires if they aren't going with the jeep. Give me a price on all that stuff... and pm me your phone number! so that we can talk more about it !
