Alright, so I sanded, grinded and painted that homemade bumper I bought 2 weeks ago. I used primer and truck bedliner. I think it came out good, considering I'm not the best guy a DYI stuff.

If I can, I'll try to get it installed this weekend. If not, then it should be on in 2 weeks. Either way, I'll post pictures for sure.

Update:
I finally got some 31's!!! I got them for "free". Fronts have 25% or so left and the rears have 50% or so. It only rubs at full lock. I will look into getting 2 more tires to replace the front ones soon. Time to cut my fenders!!! 
P.S.: I was on 215/70R16 winter tires before, so getting these will help me save those winter tires for the snow. Also, my center caps were apparently glued on, so I'll have to put them back with some silicone.

I don't know how it will hold, but my friend does, lol. All I know is that I have the mounting brackets the guy used on his Bronco. He said he'll be able to modify them so it goes on mine no problem. I have to give him a call to schedule a day. It's not his first time doing this so I'm pretty confident this will work.
Thanks for the comment!!

here is a copy of the mounting brackets that made for my bumper.
make sure he uses atleast 6 mounting points. (the 3 factory bumper mounting spots and the 3 steering box bolts. the holes are the same from side to side)
btw, i cant wait to see how the whole jeep comes together

I'll make sure to post pics as soon as the bumper is on. I'll try to have my lift installed by the end of July. I'm moving July 1st so we'll see how it goes after.

Update:
Took out the pinstripe, the "4x4" (on both side) and the "Cherokee" on one side for now. I will take the other "Cherokee" out next weekend as I didn't have enough time to do it.....
Basically, it will be de-badged on both side except the tru
nk and the front. I will re-install one of the "Cherokee" on the right side of the trunk where there's nothing.
Pictures:
Also, I went offroading Friday and tried to go through clay. (yes I know) Well, I didn't go very far and decided to back up and had to go back and forth a bit, but managed to get out
Here's the aftermath:
The wife wanted to try some. LOL.
Yours truly.
Back home.
It took me 2 days to make sure most of it was gone and there's still some falling off once in awhile lol.

Update:
New homemade bumper installed!!! A friend of mine installed it for me as this wasn't made for the Cherokee in the first place. He modified the mounting brackets and everything is solid. It also came with tow hooks. (rated at 10,000 lbs MAX) I'm almost ready to hit the trails.
I still have to cut some of the fender flares and some of the fender. I will also re-paint the hooks. You might noticed that my driving lights (hella's) are gone. I'm not sure if I want them on the bumper now. I don't wanna damage them so I might mount them on the hood or on the A-pillars.

Alright, so, I had to change another rear wheel cylinder. Everything is new in the rear brakes now. Also, my mechanic tells me that one of my injector is leaking. So I was thinking that since I have to change one, I could look into changing to the neon injectors....Now, I read on the subject a bit, but not that much. I'll do my research again, but if any of you have the part number or the year model of the neons that fit, let me know. Thanks!!
