• A replacement Jeep bumper cover can cost anywhere between $36 and $645 on CarParts.com.

Jeeps have attained legendary status as tough and versatile vehicles. Their parts share those same qualities. And no other part proves tougher than the bumper, especially when a bumper cover increases the protection for your Jeep and you.

A styling accessory for the bumper, the bumper cover uses a lightweight and durable material like plastic. It mounts on the Jeep bumper bar.

Both front and rear bumpers can mount bumper covers designed for them. Given the different shapes of the bumpers on either end of the Jeep, a front bumper cover cannot fit on the rear bumper and vice versa.

Jeep bumper covers come in different textures and colors. A primed cover can receive a paint job that matches your vehicle’s body. Textured covers eschew the need for painting.

You may have wondered why other Jeep owners got bumper covers for their Jeeps. The reasons range from aesthetic appeal to practical need.

Make your Jeep look better

The chrome bumper that comes with factory-fresh Jeeps exudes its unique charm. But you may wish for a bumper that matches your vehicle’s monochromatic body color.

Buying a new Jeep bumper can prove expensive and time-consuming, especially if you just want your vehicle to look better. Instead, you can opt for a bumper cover that shares the same color as your Jeep’s body. Some even have a billet grille that matches the larger, recognizable grille.

Additional features

Jeep bumper covers can also come with additional accessories or mountings for those accessories. Examples include sleek-looking air dams and fog lights for night and bad weather.

Improved safety during collisions

The bumper protects the rest of the Jeep during collisions. It receives support from the bumper cover, as the cover channels much of the impact’s force into the frame rails, the bumper part intended to absorb that force.

In your search for a good Jeep bumper cover, you’ll come across the terms OEM and OE. The similar abbreviations can confuse you, so here’s what they mean.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts refer to components built by the vehicle’s manufacturer. For Jeeps, it’s Mopar, the official parts provider of Jeep’s parent company Fiat Chrysler.

Original Equipment (OE) parts come from companies with no direct connection to the auto manufacturer. Built to the same rigorous specs as OEM parts, OE parts deliver competitive performance, especially since they can add features lacking in their OEM counterparts.

A replacement Jeep bumper cover can cost anywhere between $36 and $645 on CarParts.com. You can get individual bumper covers, sets of 2 or 3 covers, and as part of a kit that comes with other bumper parts like fenders and parking lights.

When browsing the listing for a new bumper cover, keep in mind that not all covers will suit your Jeep model’s bumper. A 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee front bumper cover likely won’t fit on a Jeep Wrangler stock front bumper.
