Im looking to get one and I have a pre-97 style like Customizer. I want one with the regular sides not the ext. sides. I'm going to just get the non-brush guard one, and maybe later have a bar added depending on what I feel would look best.
How did you guys go about the mounting process??? Do they just use the stock 3 holes or what? Should I get like JCR tie-ins with it???
Love it, mine isn't the extended side version, no its not just the stock 3 its built to take a beating

I like mine, i dont have the extended sides either, they mount through the three stock holes, and through the power steering unit, this ties it in pretty well. i wouldnt think to get a JCR tie in kit. ive winched with mine and havent had any issues.

I like that style bumper, but I went a bit different w/ a pre-runner brush guard. I got mine from a place in Pa. called Logan Metal Products http://logansmetals4x4.com/index.html. Their prices are pretty nice too. It cost me just around $1400 for front and back and powder coating.

Got call from treadwright wanted to know if I would take non matching set, told them I will wait. Once those come I will put current rim/tire on cl and use $ for my bumper. Also gotta get cam and torque converter for my car, hopefully come income tax. Jeep needs power steering pump its leaking bad an on top of bottom radiator hose will get that changed this weekend.
