About to have the pre runner bars welded on. What angle should the bars be cut for welding on the bumper? I can guess the rest from there. Need to know soon as I am heading over to the welders shop. Thanks.

Who's XJ is this? I'd like to find out the angles he cut the bars. I know it's at the owners discretion but I really don't want it to come out bad. Planning on leaving soon to get the bars done. Not sure what/if they have the equipment to cut the bars or slice the proper angles and since I do not have the bumper mounted I kind of need to know what the best angle would be that would not inhibit working on the headlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that was a custom bumper until it got this popular and Chris started producing it. I got one sitting in my garage too
