Default prerunner bumpers?

does any body have and ideas/pics for some prerunner bumpers on xjs? ive seen a bunch that i like but cant make them because i dont have a tube bender. i thought about making them with just prebent peices like i did with my tube doors but at the same time i dont wanna use conduit on a bumper. can you get prebent peices of tube?

Not sure if this is considered "pre-runner", but I like it.

It's just you. Naw, just kiddin man. The tie rod and drag link are off a ZJ, they have that weird bend from the factory to get around the diff. It's a great, but cheap upgrade from factory XJ crap.

Yeah, they're pretty stout when you put them next to stock XJ crap. I never bent my ZJ stuff on 35's.
