Application
Standard rear protection for military jeeps from WWII production (1941-1945) and direct post-war variants (1950-1952). Mounting to rear crossmember with bumperette bolt set (8 pieces with nuts and washers).
Installation notes
Mounting with 8 bolts to the rear crossmember. Note: the flange can be mounted upwards or downwards — WWII vehicles typically had the flange facing upwards (anti-tipping function), later civilian versions often downwards. Check the existing hole pattern in the crossmember.
Compatibility
Fits military jeeps with standard rear crossmember. 2 pieces required per vehicle. Not compatible with later civilian models that did not use bumperettes. Hole pattern may vary slightly between early and late production — modification may be necessary.
Historical context
The bumperette originally served as an anti-tipping device when towing trailers, with the flange preventing the trailer from sliding under the jeep during sharp turns. Additionally, the bumperette was used as a support point for the front bumper of a second jeep during transport.
