    Anyone have any good sources for aftermarket bumpers that will fit the '75 CJ5? Only one I've found is Hanson Products, and they're waaaay too expensive for my rig. I haven't paid $600 for any one single upgrade, and I'm not going to do it for a chunk of steel bumper.

    Quadratec, of course, doesn't list anything for earlier than '76 - '86 CJ5, but I'm wondering if there is even a difference on the front bumpers between a '75 and a '76. I know the rear is different, since the frame rails are wider on a '76.

    Will a '76 front bumper be a direct fit for a '75 frame?

    Thanks,

    One of the mods on JEEPFORUM.com goes by the screenname BESRK, he makes custom bumpers and they look awesome. I think he's reasonable too.

    76 frames are wider, so I would think you would have to drill holes and have holes where you don't need them.
