Default tube bumper good find

so i was looking for tires on craigslist and saw a post that said 'cherokee parts' so i took a look. saw that he had a tube bumper listed, but it was for a dodge dakota. i was in the area so i decided to look at it. turns out the brackets line up almost perfectly (brackets a little short so i have to make some extenders, but thatll be easy this weekend) and he only wanted 50 bucks for it so i bought it on the spot. took it home, gave it a thorough sand down, 3 coats of some spray on bedliner, and it looks basically brand new. ill post some pics as soon as i mount it on. i also repainted my stock rear bumper with bedliner so that match and they should hold up to some trailin' too. tell me what you think!
first pic is before, second is after bedliner
