Default offroad bumper question.

2000 cherokee SE. took a look at a bumper today and could not find a part number or a brand name. Guy wants $400 and says it fits a cherokee 90-01. The bumper brackets are bolted on and seems like it would fit other models. Can anyone identify this brand name. It looks brand new and looks like it is for a Wrangler.

Take your bumper off, drive there, test fit and give him the cash if it fits. Thats a sweet bumper to be honest. I'd be all over that if I wasnt building mine.

The nice thing is the bumper brackets unbolt. I think I'll try and fab up some brackets. I'll measure it first and make sure the mounting holes are close

Or you can shop around and buy a new bumper you know that fits about the same price.
