just a quick question, my homebrew bumper is under way, and my question is, with the extended unibody tie ins, is it a must for the aftermarket steering box spacer or can i use my old one?

What if it break while on the road and you would have to take off the bumper, the tie in brackets, steering box again just to install the spacer in. In my opinion, it's better to do everything done while it is accessible.
If you decide to go down on using the old spacer route, it's up to you, after all it's your jeep and you get to decide what goes and what don't go on the jeep

I have received a lot of compliments on the bumper and someone asked me to write down measurements, so I thought I ll also share it with y'all here.
This is just basic measurements for the rough idea. Not all xj's are the same so double check wi your mounting points beforehand. And adjust accordingly
