Out of any chance, has anyone ordered the Rough Country winch bumper for the XJ and had luck fitting aftermarket tow hook brackets?



I just ordered some tow hook brackets from Rustys and I've been concerned with whether or not the bumper is going to allow room for them. I plan to buy the bumper as my next major purchase for my XJ.

Thanks in advance.

Did you have any luck installing the bumper and tow hook brackets?

Have you considered not using the hooks but buying the D-Ring weld on brackets for the bumper. I bought mine from Rustys and welded them on my tube bumper. They are much safer than hooks and easier to use along with extra strength.

That rough country bumper has holes for bolt on d rings.

I didn't know that, but a better choice.

See the 4 bolt holes in the bumper under the stinger thats where they go,And the stinger is optional they make a bull bar also if i remember right.I love the idea you can buy the bare bumper with the winch plate and later on bolt on the stuff you want when money allows.

I have the same bumper. I just bought the D ring kit it cheaper then screwing around and will work with the stinger bar. Be care witch winch you use it has to be offset (most winches) I bought a warn zion witch is a not offset and had to modify the mounts and cable slot.
