Off topic but is that a custom grill I see. I am sure the folks over in the custom grill thread would like to see that.

 

i don't think so i think they had these on the older xjs

 

Might as well put mine in here too...

 

its off a 94 2 door

 

No tube, but here's mine I still need to trim it a little at the wheel wells and add more bolts to the tie-ins. The driver side sticks out about a 1/4" more than the passenger side, which I don't reaally like.

 

I had that one, modified it a bit, added a winch plate and got rid of the tiny bars on it, i beat on it for a while and it never moved, im thinking about getting another for my new xj.

 

removable front exo

 

this is a little off topic but how much does a decent tube bender run....i have looked around a little bit but most are way to much for me...i want to build a front bumper but without something to bend metal with im gonna have a hard time building one i want...thanks

 

I built this one and added an Air-Over Hydro from HF:

The bender is relatively cheap to build, its the dies that drain your wallet. That goes for all of them, JD, ProTools, etc. Plan on spending $250-$300 per die.

 

Hey guys, a bit off topic but what purpose do " stingers " serve on the front bumper?

 

Much the same as a push bar or brush bar. protection for the winch, header panel and grill, additional mounting tabs for lights, help prevent doing and End-O.

 

if you lived closer i would let you use my mig welder

 

if your building a bumper either a stick of a good mig should do you fine

 

The "custom" grill in the previous post is off a 84-86 Cherokee originally. Oh and here is my bumper...

 

I have to agree with welder advice. the harbor freight units are not that bad, affordable and even a bad weld will be stronger than gas, I got my bumper set-up and bolted together before welding , left the bolts after welding 100% trust[IMG]file:
