Is this a factory bumper?

I was comparing my options list to another white Golden Eagle's options, when I noticed mine included a dealer installed Mopar chrome group (mirror covers, fuel door and front and rear tubular bumpers)
I am SSOOOOOO glad it's not there now, as I don't like this particular bumper, but was curious if that is the factory style. That is an early pic of my Jeep whilst it had a PO.
I have all of the factory suspension and interior parts that were changed by the PO and I found a complete set of Golden Ravine's to give it more of the factory look, but I won't be looking for that bumper if it's factory.

🤢 😅
 
Dealers can install many options that weren't factory. I looked at brand new Jeeps in 2005 that had dealer installed "cheap" lift kits and 33" MT tires. More than triple the actual costs of the cheap parts.

Well, the list claims "Mopar Chrome Tubular Front Bumper" but I have not seen any before.

Tubular bumpers were an option (according to the parts list) on my 03 TJ. It wouldn't suprice me if yours is factory. Pull down a copy of the parts list from the resources area and check.
 
Yes, I think those are real Mopar options.

From the 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ Mopar Accessories brochure:

Oh, I see a couple of people beat me to it.

Thanks guys. As I said, I don't like 'em, but I was curious to see if that's the ones mine had originally. So glad they're gone. Lol
