Matches the body lines of the XJ very well. Reminds me of one I have seen but don't remember the brand though. Looks great!

Thanks man this was the first time I ever realy build somthing like this. I should have the d ring tabs this coming weekend to put on it and im going to put a 2 inch reciver on this weekend hopefuly. Ive got to help my buddy build one like this for his zj so that should be interesting they have a few more lines then the xj's do.

Well aint got much done this weekend to the jeep been building a bumper for my buddies zj witch is a heck of alot more complicated to make look good then a xj.but I did find some time to trim up the front fenders infront of the tires, cut the front bumper ends till I can make mine, and ditched the brush guard that I couldnt stand. Heres some pics.
And I know this isnt part of my jeep but heres the bumper im building for the zj thats next to mine.

Just finished up my bumper mounts here at work now just waiting on 4 so I can head to the house and get to work on the bumper! These are the blue prints I used to make them off of. I found them on here. Some guys said the holes dont line up perfect so we will hafta wait and see. Im hoping for the best but if they aint perfect a little wallerin out with a bigger bit and a washer never hurt anything lol.

finished my front bumper for the most part this weekend. Its made out of 3\16ths plate. The mounts are 1/4 plate with 7 bolts on either side with plates on the inside of the frame rails. Shouldnt go anywere. I had the tow hooks laying around so I figured Id cut them and use them as a hook point for now. Not sure how i like them tho will probly end up cutting them off and using d ring tabs.
