Default new bumper but what to put it on the xj or zj

ok so the wifes xj need new bumpers and I got lucky enough on a j yard trip for other stuff to find two straight pretty rust free 89 xj bumpers front and back all ready off laying in the xj.
Then when I got home I found a tube bumper (pictured in the attachment) on craigs and then went and got it for a steal of a price I think $50.
Now I have the dilemma of what to do with it because I just got the stockers for the xj and my zj could stand a new bumper. or should I just put it on the xj and return one of the bumpers to the j yard

not bad for $50. i'd definitely sand it down and repaint it to make it look better. never really seen that style of brush guard thing on a ZJ

Try it on the ZJ. If you don't like it you know what to do.
