Default tj bumper on an xj

I finally finished my rear bumper re fab. I didn't really take picutres along the way but here is the finished product. I bought this bumper off the owner of ok 4wd. He had it on his tj and racked it on a tree. I saw it sittin in the back and asked him what it was all about and he said 50 bucks and its yours. Best 50 bucks I ever put into the jeep. I made some mounts out of 2x4 tube steel. These tie right into the unibody. Here's the pics. Tell me what ya think

Plus since you can weld, you could just trim them up and re cap them on the sides to tuck it in more but i cant wait to see what you come up with.

Before I even got down to the part where you were talking about a wide body, I was thinking, "Hmm bet you could make some tube fenders, tie them into that bumper, and stuff some serious rubber up in there!
