so i went to ok4wd the other day and i was helpin my buddy throw tires and i notices this really nice steel bumper sitting in the back in the junk pile. i saw it was a little messed up but i can weld and such so i asked him how much they wanted for it and the owner said fifty bucks. so i took it home, cut off the old mounts(it was for a tj but with some minor "tweaking" with a hammer i got it to wrap around the sides), painted the small scratches, and am getting ready to put on the brackets i made. i just figured i would give you guys a sneak peak and see if you had any suggestions before i put it on.

 

Nice find. I'd beef it up and throw a couple D-rings on it.

 

Looks good, Maybe you could shorten the sides so they don't stick out as far.

 

well it has the spots for them so i was plannin on it lol. thanks for the suggestion

 

well i actually like that. becuase im in search for a used set of bushwackers so i can match the width of it sticking out, it will look so sick when its done. thanks for looking and if need be i will shorten it up.

 

hey if your looking for fender flares get ahold of jdougn over at naxja.org. he makes fender flares like the Bush wackers and says he has a few extra sets right now...

 

I'll be looking forward to seeing it with flares.

 

well that is a well spent 50 bucks!

 

do you know how much they are runnin?

 

that looks like it was a bargin for 50 bucks and i bet it'll look great with fender flares

 

yea thats what im thinkin. its like an off road version of a wide body kit hahahah

 

waitin for him to email me back......

 

$425. they are really nice but im not lookin to pay that much ya know? ill find a used set soon.

 

I had no idea your XJ was red.......


Great deal, now add a tire carrier to fill in that hole lol.

 

well it is actually white. the rear hatch is red lol. but i plan on fabbing a tire carrier later down the road.
