make these

or buy them... http://www.ajsoffroadarmor.com/produ...cat=256&page=1 bolt them up with a few bolts each, then build your bumper off of them, then they'll be right where they need to be.


like this fellow did: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/my...-bumper-70232/

oh btw this was posted in wrong spot... If you are asking something it goes in tech section, please only start posts here if you have started building something...

@Moderators You should put a LARGE BOLD print message in the FAB section stating the above.

^^ Have you actually used those dimensions? If you did (and if they actually were correct), that would be very helpful for my next bumper build haha

Confirmed working by many different year XJ owners...however i'd advise making a cardboard template and checking first.
