Anyone got any gotchas or advice on R&R'ing the rear bumper on a '91' XJ?
The bumper has a nice crease in it where I backed into a parking pole that
was in my blind spot AND below the window height of the rear liftgate
window. I'm hoping to hit up a junkyard and get a matching bumper. Thanks in
advance.

I have both Haynes and Chilton's for your year... the
Chilton's doesn't even mention it, and the Haynes
glosses over it pretty quickly.  Should be obvious.

remove the end caps then  there is 4 15mm bolts on each frame rail to bracket mount that has to be removed

Very simple bolt on replacement. Be sure the donor is '84-'96. Should be
plentiful in the junkyards, but may be cheaper or even free if you ask
around your local Jeep club for someone who just upgraded.
