passenger side bumper pushed in about 1" to 1.5".

driver's side pushed out.

frame horns will likely be bent a bit, but not FUBAR'd. you can straighten them with inginuity, and whatever is wrong there obviously isn't affecting bodylines. it's my opinion that there are no alignment issues, nor will there be.

the bumper is not bent, the mounts could be, but it's likely the unibody right in that area and it is NOT a death knoll to your jeep...just another trail repair, and a darn good reason to get more mounting points than that...that plus factory side mounts just aren't enough.

 

Here's the verdict:
It turns out this is a combination of two things: the first being my driver's side fender is dinged in pretty badly, a repair I really feel no obligation or urge to fix. The other factor is that my passenger side mounting bracket is dented in slightly. This is not a performance-inhibiting factor, all of the metal is intact, no cracks or corrosion. 1h, 40 mins later... I have removed and reinstalled my front bumper. God, what a pain without a buddy.

 

HMMMM SOMEONE SAID THIS DIDNT THEY? glad you figured that out, now go tell your xj your sorry

 

Psst. You don't have a frame. It's an XJ... It's a uni-body...

 

You're supposed to listen to what I say and not what I mean. I'm trying to coax one of my friends or somethin like that into helping me machine a set of reinforcements. I really don't have 80 bucks to go buy them...

 

haha I'm just bustin your ***** in good fun! I know whatcha meant. :-)

 

I'm researching potential options for replacement today. I might go to a scrapyard and see if I can nab some extra metal and get it machined, should save me a few dollars. I got a template.
