Dude, I just seen that last night searching for XJ parts. I also drive an 89 by the way.

I agree it is ugly. The little push bar with tow hooks wasn't too bad though.

I agree that grill is butt ugly.
But don't make fun of JC Whitney. LOL.
Way back when, before the internet when it was paper catalogs and mail order, when I owned my '46 CJ2A when I was a kid JC Whitney was my best friend for some parts.
I never did it, toyed with the idea, but you could buy a brand new frame for a CJ2A from them.
The VW guys back in the day used to say the same thing.

JCW??.... I wouldn't be surprised. My first thought was looked similar to what I remember seeing on mid-80s generations of GMC Jimmy/Chevy S-10s.
Either way... definitely butt ugly.. IMO...lol
