This is a little project I did for a friends Ranger (yes I know this is a Cherokee forum but this is fabrication non the less and I plan to redo my bumper to match his) I built this for him as payment for helping me install my gears, locker, and SYE.










The same technique can be applied to our Jeeps. I cut his trailer hitch apart and used the mounting plates as the new mounting brackets for the bumper. I then cut off several inches of his rear qtr panels and brought the bumper around underneath the edge. I took 2x2 1/4" for the side braces running to the frame rail. The whole bumper is 2x4 3/16" and the sides are 2x4 laid horizontally. As soon as I get some more time I plan on doing the exact same thing to my bumper and rear of my jeep.

I like it a lot. Very low profile, and doesn't shout "LOOK AT ME!! I'M A BEEFY BUMPER!!!"

that bumper looks awesome thats exactly what i want to do on my Cherokee what is the chain attachment point you put on that bumper where did you get it

Nice lines and clean welds. Well done.

That rear bumper looks sharp and functional...
And a jeep version of that rear bumper would also look good...

I think you have yourself a winner with this design very functional but still very appealing as well. If i had a ranger i would probably bug the crap out of you to built me one lol

The d-rings are from a hummer h2 (about the only useful thing on one) the hitch receiver is a factory toyota hitch that I cut the 2x4 and welded nuts onto the backside to bolt the receiver in. I then ran a small bead of weld around the back side. The chain points are built into the receiver.
