Body Rear bumperettes
Maybe the ones on mine are the 41-45 model and modified to fit.Thanks interesting to know the history! I had already seen the ones you mentioned but was hoping to find replacements for the model that is currently on there. They look similar to the 41-45 model design. More rugged look. Take a close look at that pic. Thanks again.
These bumperettes look nice, and are historically interesting. Other than that, I find them impractical and ended up removing them. They protrude and don’t help with departure angle. But they sure do give a classic appeal to a CJ.
Keep in mind that aftermarket bumperettes are not the same as OEM. Aftermarket ones are not of same thickness and weight and not the same shape for the CJ. The attached are OEM. Note flange on one edge of CJ bumperettes shown (as well as in TSBBC vintage picture). This style remained through 1986 CJs. If you want to add bumperettes I recommend you locate an OEM pair. If you want them in chrome, you will have a difficult time locating. Chrome bumperettes came on Laredo models only. Cheers, JSYes. Bumperettes were stock. The bumperettes were a carry-over from the original military jeeps. Their true function was for "absorbers" during towing (both sharp turns and jackknifing). Often the trailers or towbars would be fitted with matching plates that lined up with them. They are readily available. Crown part # 5355457K are the black ones (about $90). Kentrol makes a nice stainless set (part # 50438) for about $130. 4wheelparts.com has all these.

I also have a set of used ones in black if you're interested.
The ones on the Jeep in the picture are OEM.Yes, Im assuming mine are original, shown in 1st post. At this point, i would likely try and have mine restored. I will take a closer shot so you guys can tell me if you think they are original. One is heavily rusted.
I was hoping you were talking about the spare tire carrier. I have the same questions about that. Anyone know about parts for the carrier?Guys, #1, was this design stock? #2, where can I find some identical?

Nice finds. I gave my whole unit away. With just a 30 inch tire at the time cracked the body, to much weight, I got a bumper swing out mounted unit.What tire carrier parts are you needing? Here's an entire setup for sale: CJ factory spare tire carrier
