so i have plans of building a front bumper and brush guard for my 92 XJ with my dad i havent built one before anybody have any good pointers for building one?

 

Make it strong and make it look awesome.

 

I just built my first one with my dad. Use all the bolts you can. Go all the way back to the sleeved one. Cut the side of your fenders like the 97+ models, it will be much easier to work with. Oh and take lots of pictures for us.

 

alright cool thanks and will do im not sure when we are going to start the project but ill get plenty of pictures

 

Good luck on your project. Enjoy the time doing it with your father.

 

thanks i will im not quite sure when we are going to start the project but ill stay up to day on here

 

Hey glad to here your gonna have a father son project build with your dad. Wish I could still do that but unfortunately I lost my dad to a car accident at a young age. Hope you guys have a great time bonding. I didn't build my bumper brush guard combo, its just the factory bumper just trimed up and a brush guard I found in the local junk yard off of another cherokee for 50 Bucks. But here's a pic to kinda go buy for reference if you need to.

 

sorry to hear bout your dad but thanks for the encouragement and those pictures will help out im not sure when we are starting but ill keep up to date will posts and pictures on here

 

Hey thanx, ya my family and I were hit by a drunk driver, in which the accident killed my Dad, Mom, And Older Brother.. I was only sixteen at the time of the accident, just my little sister and I survived. But that was 13 years ago and I had to grow up fast...... If you need any more pics of my brush guard just shoot me a pm and let me know. I'll post them for ya. Hope you and your father have a great time building it. Cherish every moment you can. Cause believe me when I say anything can happen to anyone at any given time of the day.

 

well thanks im just about to post some new pics of my xj my dad gave me a huge suprise when i got home from my trip im onkly 16 right now but he put on the lift the new tires and rims and painted it while i was gone as a birthday gift ill shoot you PM he wants to start getting ideas for it soon

 

Here's my brush guard I had installed last week. Lights work real well too for being $25 Walmart ones! At first, I had them as running lights, aimed low, but now I have them aimed high because the guard kind of impaired my high beams. Now, I only run the aux lights on the guard driving home on the country roads - it really illuminates farther up the road and on the sides of the road!

 

I have that brush guard in the pic above for sale! pm me lol

 

Here's some up close shots of my brush guard for ya.


This is the passenger side mounting bracket.





And a drawing of the passenger mounting bracket. Were the line I drew threw it at the bottom is were the bracket 90* out toward the tire. The bracket is mounted behind the factory bumper mounting bracket.




Driver side mounting bracket.





Just miscellaneous shots around the bumper and head lights.





















Hope that will help out on your build. If you need any other shots just shoot me another pm.
