Default I need some grill guard help!

Can someone post pictures of where they have their guard mounted???

I posted earlier about a grill guard and push bar and was looking at where to put them, but I have no idea. I'm new at this.

make up some brackets to bolt it to the "frame" if you want any real stability out of it.

I don't want it on the bumper. I want to bolt it to the frame. I guess what I need to know is where to bolt it to the frame and where/ who to go to to get the brackets fabbed.

Does your XJ have front tow hooks?
I got my grille guard from a J/Y Comanche, and it mounted to the front tow hook brackets, underneath the hooks.

It does not have the tow package, so no tow hooks.

got to a local weld shop and tell them what you looking at doing and they should be able to help.

me i would build a new bumper with a it build right in. yea a few ext BLS but i know when i hook into someone that its not going any where. and it will give you a place to put a winch as well.

Wanting to keep the stock bumper. This is my dd. Not going to do too much off roading in it. There are a lot of deer around here though.

My brush guard is bolted directly onto the bumper. I took out a mailbox the other day with it doing 40 MPH. Bumper was fine, my Walmart Baja light on the other hand was not so fine. The tube in the brush guard got a little messed up, but I'll use a slide hammer to pull it out and clean it all up.
