I'm pretty sure my '79 J10 has a chromed aluminum front bumper. I'll check it next time I see it. Our 86 GW definately had polished aluminum bumpers. The 89 GW that I got replacement bumpers off of from the junk yard were polished aluminum also.

Magnet with not stick to aluminum or nickel(which is chrome).
My 79' WT has a chromed aluminum front and rear. The chrome is peeling off at jack points. The aluminum is now corroding which is white and semi powderey.
Nice thing about those aluminum bumpers is that if you hit something they are very springy. It is very hard to deform them to the point they look distorted.Matt 'Captain 'insert new stupid thing I did here''

One more fly, would be the 80+ bumpers were
avalible both punched for rubber strips and
unpunched for no rubber strips.
I think the late 70's three peice bumpers were
also avalibel punched, but what was the first
year that rubber strips were offered ?
Also Warn and Ramsey winch bumpers were also
offered as a factory approved item.

I think the punched 3 pc. bumpers for the black strips started with the Super Wag in 66. The vertical bumper guards mount to existing hole in bumper mount.Originally posted by mdill:

the 76 manual states that the rubber strips and upright guards where avalable for all models that year. My wag has both. I need a new section for the rear though.Where am I? and how did I get here? <br />1976 wag 401 quadratrac, changed to slotted wheels, removed woodgrain, rebuilt engine, tranny, and transfer case.

Gotta love the alum. ones. With the tab on the bottom with the hole, outboard of the frame rails, they are easy to saw a hole in the shape of a fog lamp. Keeps 'em out of harms way.Art
