Using bumpers from other trucks?
Has anyone ever used a stronger steel bumper off like a land rover or something on their xj? Is it possible (maybe with some welding)? Just a stronger bumper that you could use a hi lift on.

Honestly I cant weld but I was thinking if I got a bumper from something else I could just get my buddy to weld on the frame mounts. But then again I don't know.

I doubt any stock bumpers form other vehicles would hold up to a high lift either. Most bumpers are made to absorbe the force of a crash and are made from pretty thin metal or even worse plastic.

I'm telling ya like everyone else your better off building one. Even if it's just box tube with L brackets bolted to it and the existing mounting holes is good if you don't weld.
