Front bumper around corner?
I have seen that many people who make front bumpers do not have the bumper bend around the corner and meet the fender.
I am making a bumper and am still in the designing process.
Are there any perks to not having it round the corner?

i dont even have a fender where the bumper would wrap around and meet the fender.. that is why i didnt wrap it around like stock.. Plus, just the front looks cool, and a little different! Go for what you like personally, afterall, it is your jeep..

durango 4x4 sells some bumpers that wrap around, they make two different styles for the xj, one having a winch mount and one not. check out their website you can get an idea of whats out there. I would recommend trimming your fenders down below where the bimpers are

you have to look for newer xj's i believe i know the newer ones come with the fenders already up higher to allow it to wrap around and the older ones dont thats why they dont make em like that for older models

i believe durango 4x4 does, I have one of their designs on the front of mine, although it doesnt look great right now cuz my grill guard got ripped off, but yea my dad made their bumpers for them a couple years ago at his shop, i bet you could talk to them about it
