Front bumper will be off very shortly for new AJ bumper Thanks

CHASDB looks like your right next door to me do you go out to local trails and san beradino area?

U bolts sound clean. My buddy drilled right into his stock brackets. They hold a lot of weight.

camping350 08-12-2012 12:23 AM

the u bolts look like they came with it the way it sits on rails feels real sturdy. i may need to lower it for clearance to get into my trailer after the lift and tires.

Are you going to store your spare tire up there when you run 33s?

camping350 08-12-2012 12:44 AM

Depends after my lift with my toyhaler height for spare on top and length if I get a carrier that's why I haven't bought a rear bumper yet. I want to put on roof and have clean back end without obstructing view and have to always unhook to get in. I have heard about higher center gravity and more wind resistance worse mileage on the roof

thatXJguy 08-12-2012 12:50 AM

I think the rear tire carrier looks the cleanest, but I feel the same way about the view obstruction. Right now I don't even have a spare haha.

camping350 08-12-2012 12:54 AM

I think I have original that's what 11 years old I bought spare with my 33's

camping350 08-12-2012 12:55 AM

Which carrier I want strong and looks I like jcr and detours

camping350 08-12-2012 01:07 AM

CheapCherokee 08-12-2012 01:14 AM

nice, johns place is awesome, used to go there a lot with my friends while we were still in high school. man those were good times.

I'm sure i've probably seen your XJ around at some point, now i know who's it is lol. if you need any wrenching help or any spare parts just let me know, you're not far at all.
