The bumpers been crushed in since I got it. I am finally deciding to try and fix it. I'll post some pics. The unibody is a little tweaked and I'll post a pic of the bumper bracket. Plus the fender has a little crunch in it too. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about fixing this?

There are three bolt at each side, just pull them out and replace the bumper. There is no fixing the crunched one.

Get some brackets from the local boneyard, there is plenty of adjustment in the mounting holes to get the bumper straight and make up for any slight tweaks in the unibody. You may do more harm than good trying to straighten things out with a come-along. Can you post a picture of the door gap between the doors and fenders? If the gaps are good you don't need to worry about a tweaked unibody too much.

This is so true! A come a long can cause a lot more damage then you try to repair.

Ok so I looked at it again. The frame ain't bent as in pushed back or anything. The bracket pushed into the unibody frame but the frame itself is straight. So since the frames hollow it kinda just took the force of whatever the dude hit that owned the jeep before me.

Mine looked very similar. The biggest issue was my brackets were all jacked up. Well one of 'em was. I had to beat it into submission just to make it usable for the time being until I build a bumper.
