so i got one of these from work (brush/bull guards) it came off a cop car i was thinking of welding it or bolting it right to the stock bumper or cuting the stock bumper and going for the stock bumper mounts i want to be able to put a strap on this if i get stuck in the mud so whats the best way to mount it
ill try to get some picks up soon, you all probly know what a bull guard on a cop car looks like though
any ideas

I had extensions welded to extend the frame rails out to the bottom of the bumper (5-6" total". Then bolted it on to those extensions.

Feels super solid and the extensions are really thick [ shaped. I'll see if i can get some close up pics.

edit: I think it may be tecnically illegal in some places to weld to the framerails.

So if i bolt or weld it to the bumper you think it would be a strong tow point?

NO.. Stock XJ bumper is not load bearing. It will pull right off... You will need frame mounts...

or i could pull the bumper off and convince my wife that i need a off road bumper from jcr
