Thinking of a Stage 3 front and Stage 2 rear for my XJ.
I was wondering if there is space on the front bumper to mount auxillary lights. I am undecided if I want to add a hoop on or not. Does anyone have any pictures of JCR bumpers on their XJ? I would like to see more views of the front especially with the lead forward hoop with light tabs. I am leaning towards no hoop.
Most important how do you like your JCR bumper?

JCR is a high quality manufacturer. Just be advised that you will be waiting a while for your bumper as they fabricate the bumpers to order. If you want lights, I would suggest going with the pre-runner bumper with the hoop. Mine is all stock, and do not have any pictures, but a friend of mine has a pre-runner with the hoop on his XJ and it looks good. The best advice if you have a question about mounting lights on a JCR bumper is to contact JCR. Brian (owner of JCR) answered my questions within 24 hours and was very helpful. I hope this helps!

its got light tabs on it....but no lights right now. there is also a hole on either side,right behind where the hoop is welded if you went with out the hoop.

JCR is also really good about adding custom features to their products if you ask when you order, if I'm not mistaken. If there's something specific you want and it's not already on there, ask. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

JCR is great with adding a light mount here or there, or anything you want. I have the stage 3 rear and really like it. Oh, and when they say "massage" the front into place, they mean get out the sledge hammer...
Granted I am a bit biased to them as they are a short drive from me. So I just drive down and get what I need.

I have seen a JCR with slim lights mounted directly to the front bumper. He may have been a member on here, can't remember but pretty sure.

Here is a pic of my '93 with a JCR Pre-Runner bumper and Hella 500 lights. I'm a huge fan of JCR's bumpers - the fit, the quality of the welds, the design - all top notch. HIGHLY recommend, but be prepared to wait about 4-6 weeks... Still - it's worth it!

I've been drooling over their bumpers for about a year now. But I've always wondered if the lights would mount directly to the bumper itself. Not a big fan of the prerunner hoop and the way the lights mount up. But their bumper design is yummy.

Send them an e-mail explaining where you want the lights, they will tell you how much for it, make it, ship it to you...Originally Posted by cheder

That is right about where I would want my lights to be mounted. My only concern is that this picture being a winch bumber there may be more of a shelf because of the extra width needed for the whinch.Originally Posted by Matt Ellerbee

I sent them an email and as soon as they get back to me I am ordering 2 bumpers and rear lower 1/4 panel armor. I think it is going to look sweet.
