Real solid rear Bumpers.

Hi there
Does any one know were to get a decent rear steel bumper??

I have an ORA rear bumper and I backed into a wooden pole today at less that 5mph and it has deformed badly and pushed into the rear panel and up into the rear light (reversing light) so I cant open the back door .

So is there any where I can get another bumper so I can throw this one in the scrap

I have emailed ORA with my quality complaint and am awaiting reply

Cheers Iain

Hi

I got a reply from Off Road Armoury, The short version was he did not care because it was two years old

I know Some People are happy with there bumpers, i am just not happy with mine

Cheers Iain

P.S. If u have an ORA bumper be Carefull the bend real easy.

If the bumper hadn't deformed, the chassis would have :ohmy:

You can't hit something solid at 5mph unless something deforms somewhere. The original plastic bumper is supposed to deform although a pole generally does them in.

Can't you undeform it with a hammer?

I recall undeforming the bumper on my landrover with a towrope around an electricity pylon: I gambled that it had a solid foundation

I see that you had already posted a slanderous message before you had even given us a chance to reply to your email, which was quite unfair.

This is the one and only damaged Jimny rear bumper that we have heard of, and reversing in to a post and bending the product really is not something that would or could be covered by a warranty of any kind.

There are a lot of loyal customers on bigjimny and all around the world who have the exact same product and who are very pleased with there purchase.

I'm afraid unless it is a manufacturing defect such as a failed weld then this would not be something that would be covered.

You cannot go reversing in to posts and expect free replacements for life on a £250 part.

hi mate,

if you don't want your bent bumper il have it off you, rather than scrapping it. Im not bad with a hammer and welder, Im sure i could fix it if you've only hit a post at 5mph.

thanks let me know
