hi there, im 17 and i just got my first cherokee about a week ago. i must say... what an addicting vehicle haha. so far i have built my own 2inch coil spacers and installed them accompanied by 2inch blocks out back. im sitting on a fairly mild mud terrain tire. size: 235/75r15. im considering bumpers now and have stumbled upon the iron scorpion diy bumpers. they look good and are cheap and since i have experience in fabricating i could put them together. my only concern is how it will look with a 2 inch lift and a small tire (because the only show the bumper on bad @$$ rigs haha). so if anyone out there can just voice their opinion on the situation or by chance has pictures of the setup i want, it would do wonders for me. thanks in advance.

Here is a thread over at NAXJA talking about this. The 1st xj on page 6 isn't too modified. Personally would not use a bedliner, but either a nice black or power coat

I have one on my truck. They are in CO too, so decided to try it. I would say it's a nice bumper, but also a bit of a challenge. You have to be careful in bending. I noticed the tabs close to breaking. It was a good amount of work to weld too. Plus you have to buy all the hardware. I probably saved about $80-$100 by doing it myself. Look up my jeep build thread for pics.

Nice looking but for a bumper you have to build I'd say design your own. But that's just me..

your jeep is the one that inspired me to get the iron scorpion bumper. your jeep looks real good. i would post pics of mine but its nothing special haha

i'd pull your custom spacer setup and invest in an actual lift

i would like to as well but its my daily driver. and since im young, money is limited which is evident... i did build my own spacers to save some cash. ive got $30 invested in a 2inch lift. i think thats pretty good. also if a had money, i would just buy a pre fabbed bumper and bolt it up. im trying to make it look legit on the cheap.
