Gatch what winch bumper is that? Custom?
Thinking about getting a winch..I pulled a couple people out this winter at 50 a pop, and a winch would make it easier!

Dark if you have an issue, check your local junkyards. The 5 speed xj's have 3/4" drop build into the cross member. The autos were 3/4" higher!

Havent yet. But no unnormal wear. I can't tell it's there in 2wd. Even turning as sharp as possible. If u need help I can walk u through it. Very easy.
