Is it possible to just replace the rubber on this jobbie
or do you have to replace the whole thing steel and all?

It's a bonded assembly just like the side mounts are. I know of no outfit producing a stand-alone piece of rubber block replacement and even it someone did start producing a block of rubber that will fit the plates I see no way without ovens and special adhesive to re-bond the new rubber to the plates well enough to produce a strong long lasting assembly.

Thanks Wes.

It appeared to be a bonded assembly but much on this jeep appears to
be bonded until the application of solvents, heat, abrasives and torque
show otherwise.
