craigslist and forums are your best friend for "cheap" stock mods ie brush guards, stock skids, stock roof rack tire carrier etc. or used aftermarket parts as well. idk if fiat still makes those parts new as they havent made the xj in over 10 years and they werent the company who owned jeep when then xj was in production

This...your gonna still pay like 100 bucks for a new one and its gonna be just for looks, they dont tie into the unibody and any kind of push or pull with them will bend them or tear them right off. Save a couple extra bucks and buy a basic front bumper that ties into your body. Otherwise if your set on a grille guard ebay it.

Make one. A very basic one seems easy to make

Yea, they are pointless, some people think they look cool but they have really zero functionality. I wouldnt trust one pushing much more than a few sticks out of my grille area.
