A for effort

Dude, what did you expect? That thing will serve no purpose off road.

It may look decent from a distance, but seriously.

I dont understand why you cut GIANT Square holes in the bumper?

Eff the haters...The simple fact is, even if you posted some beastly, 1/4 plate, tig welded tank of a bumper you're still gonna get those few people who have something bad to say about it. Unfortunately, douchebaggery is just in some people's blood.

If that's what you like, go for it but I agree. There really was no point in cutting giant holes in the bumper to mount to what ever you mounted to...considering the stock bumper would have been more than substantial enough to mount a cosmetic piece of conduit to.

the holes aren't GIANT lol, they are just under 3 inches, and lets be real - stock XJ bumpers are useless! Sorry for experimenting and playing around with MY jeep.

I prefer my holes much smaller than that.

The question I have is why did you cut thru the bumper to go to the ______?

I promise that stock bumper is stronger than that conduit you put there. I applaud your attempt but you need to conduct your experiment with something that will support the weight of a wet towel.

Why are you getting offended? You posted on the internet for peoples opinion. You're getting opinions.
