After way too many hours working on this thing, I finally got it finished up and on today. Sorry I don't have many build pics, I figured I'd show you guys what I came up with.


Its all 1/4" steel and reinforced where the reciever hitch used to mount. I made it pretty skinny for the best departure angle. You can see alot of the gas tank from behind, but a gas tank skid plate is next on my list.



The tire carrier is rock solid...it doesn't wiggle or bounce even on rough roads. I made it so I can move the tire up for when I'm wheeling and down so I can see over it in my rear view mirror.

The tail light gaurds are 7/8" rod. they took about 4 hours to do.


Oh, and I'm getting married in 9 days....but don't worry, she likes 'wheeling And she was very patient with me while I was working on the bumper instead of wedding plans!

Only fault I see is you have to remove the bumper to change a blown tail light. Other than that I think it looks great.

Ah yes, a buddy of mine pointed that out to me and said I should change all my bulbs before putting it on, which I failed to do. It will take me an hour to change a bulb now but oh well.

I like that you rhino coated it.

I'll be Rhino coating alot of my XJ this spring.
During the winter here they lay the road salt down pretty thick....I hate it.

I wouldnt waste my time with all of that you should cut those off and find a new way to mount them.. other than that looks good i like how you made it go down the side of the quarter panel
