so i bent my stock bumper to and iv been on the search for a new one.
and well i cant find anything good for the price so im debating on getting an ebay bumper cheap and use it as a base to build off of!!

i need options! i kinda dont have much time with school and work but im in no hurry really

id like to see what you guys have and prices if you have them as well as all the pictures you can post!!

 

Get a OEM bumper from a JY and then go with Detours Tailbone. Absolutely awesome set up.

 

Wow! i really like that setup!
install looks pretty intense but fun how bad is that?
what size spare do you have or have you tried?

how do you like it as far as the quality and how was everything built? was ther any problems that you had?

 

Install wasn't bad at all. Just takes some time.
I've got a 31" spare on it right now.
NO issues what-so-ever. Quality is amazing and I'll recommend this thing to everyone I can. Mark does a great job building his stuff.

 

That is a good looking set up.

 

It looks sweet, but still kind of expensive

 

cheaper than buying a bumper and tire carrier from anybody else. The only way to go cheaper would be to fab it up yourself. Or find a killer deal on either CL or eBay.

 

Staangs Fab has excellent pricing on XJ bumpers, give them a call. Last time I spoke to the owner(Eric) he mentioned he had been working on a tire carrier I believe.

 

im liking the detours setup

iv never heard of staangs fab? pictures on the website look good do you have any pictures of this tire carrier??

 

I love the detours bumper because most rear bumpers on XJs look like ****

 

Ive been looking at this, especially if you get a plain bumper with a 2 inch reciever. Its only $90 and if you search around i think they make ones that hold gas cans and more.

It doesn't look like that tire carrier pivots to make room for opening the rear hatch. Plus, you can't forget about keeping the license plate visible and lit to stay street-legal. I was looking at those a while back myself for my Suburban but rejected the idea. It's not easy storing a 35" tire inside a vehicle, even big ones! For the XJ, I just keep the spare on the roof rack.

 

if your talking about the front and rear bumperon ebay for $400 they look nice and the reviews are pretty good on them too, If you dont have the tools and the time to fab your own go with that

 

Email Eric, I dont have any. I know other stuff I've seen of his was absolutely ridiculous.

 

see this is my problem!! there are sooooooooooo many options and every time i search i find something new and i fnd a better deal and one i like a little more then the rest!!
its just a tough choice
