Just wondering if its possible to have a bumper fabbed that would allow keeping my original front bumper end-caps?

I'd like to have a set-up capable of welding or bolting a "deer guard" onto...

claygrassmann

you could prolly fab one up that will do that but i dont think there are any that come like that

Check Tomken Machine.



I recall their late model XJ bumpers re-using the OE end caps.

Thanks Joe! - Went to Tomken.com; I think I just found my rear bumper.

Wondering too if any body could make a custom front bumper that would allow using OE end-caps?

I made one for my wife's XJ and kept the OE bumper.


But I'm not taking on any fabbing work right now (as I have to finish my truck first).

Cool, how'd she like it?

Did you tie it into the unibody?

I'm wondering what I'd have to do to stop a deep or antelope from making a mess of my vehicle.

Thanks, Al.

No complaints.


I used 2 x 6 and bent it up/around so it followed the lines of the Jeep. Then painted it and mounted the end caps.



If I find any pictures .... I'll post them. Can't seem to find any at the moment.

i just welded a brush guard type deal onto the front of my stock bumper im not sure exactly wut itll stand up to but its pushed a few small trees and stuff out the way

claygrassmann

prolly wont stand up to much but brush, that stock bumper is really thin

X2 looks decent but not too strong.

yea i really dont think it would because i can push and pull on it and you can see the bumper flex but its all the budget could allow for now lol

Well you did say it was a brush guard, it will help to get the branches out of the way. i think it looks good.
