I am trying to get some parts together to put my Thing back together.
I am seeking one bumper over ride. It kind of looks like the late bus ones where it is metal with a bumper strip in it and are black in color.
Any leads would be appreciated.
This is going to be a tough and on going parts search. Pretty much need everything on the passenger side (fender, lights, spindle, control arms, wheel bearings, wheel and tire, a new front bumper, both front outter quarter panels, a new hood, the front piece with the logo (both inner and outer), the underneath piece where the bumper attaches, and inner fender well just to name a few off the top of my head. |

If they look anything like the ones pictured on my rear bumper - I was told that they aren't original equipment, and I wasn't able to find them anywhere.

Are these available anywhere yet? Would like 4 new ones. Anyone know a rubber from another vehicle that might work?
Heard Mexican bumpers might have these but no luck looking. |

Here is a set of 4 aftermarket ones, they are squarer than the original ones. https://www.thingparts.com/bumper-overriders-aftermarket-set-of-four-free-shipping-51-states/ _________________ Supposed to be 77käfer, but there are no umlauts on an american keyboard

not the same I wanted NEW metal with rubber as in that picture, not the fat all rubber ones! Thingparts does have 1 used of what I want.
I think I can get new chrome ones like what I want. then blacken them |
