Cheap. Go to the one in summit I was there Sunday and there at least 5 '96 and earlier xj there. Also I'll post pic of the rear bumpe when I get off work someone want to try get it off. I'm not sure if it's home made or after market. Looks pretty beefy. The lkq in Chicago heights have a 4.5 rustys complete lift kits. You going to need sawzall and impact to get them off. I tried already but the sucker won't budge. The only thing I got off were track bar and front skid plate.
I saw that bumper today. If you look closely at it, it goes all the way down the unibody rail and is bolted and welded to it. Not getting that sucker off unless you got a grinder with ya.
Scored a 97+ gas tank skid at summit pick and pull today. Someone already had almost all the hitch bolts off, so all i had to do was go grab a stud remover

I could use both passenger doors for my 91 if you see any! Lmk looking for good ones to use when I Bedline it the front one has to much rust under the moulding 
and some 98+ mirrors to I'd compensate for your time 
since my job kills me from going a lot and I'm right by summit to like 10 minutes away

you should go back and get the nut strips off the green xj. makes the install easier. i got the nut strips Ares fab sells. the one he sell is more for his gas tank skid he made. all the bolt holes on the factory gas tank skid won't line up with his. i think i only able to use two bolts on each side of the skid. it held fine on mine with just 2 bolts on each side.

I can't use the nut strips on mine or I would of took them. My unibody has a kink in it from being rearended with a hitch before I bought it who knows when. I built a bumper with tie ins for it that I just lined up with the holes that werent in the exact spots for my bumper. So I just need to drill new holes for the skid itself

i saw one xj think it's a '90 dark maroon color at other jy i go to have rust free body. you should meet me there i'll help you take them off. i can't remember but think the bolts for the door use T40 and they pain in the butt to get off. there's not a whole lot of room to stick a rachet in there.

The summit pick n pull has a red 97 cherokee with the light grey interior, all manual windows and locks and all the door panels are there if anyone was wanting to convert to manual doors on a newer body style

Should be a direct bolt on. Same body style, just this 97 has the old door hinges which some 97s did. If you wanted to just use those doors all together the hinges bolt up the same and the strikers are the same. My 97 has the same striker as my 99, just the 96 and down hinges.
