Default Warn bumper for Wrangler on a Cherokee?

I can get a like new Warn winch bumper from a wrangler for $100. I'm wondering if anyone has used an aftermarket bumper for a Wrangler on a Cherokee? Pics would be appreciated. This is a pic of the bumper. The width measurements of the bumper are the same width as the front of my cherokee so I figured I would just have to make my own mounts.

Don't know if anyone has done this.I'm too much of a newb. But iknow this; you can make it work.You might have to relocate some mounting tabs/brackets,but it shouldn't be too much of an ordeal.
good luck.

Worst case scenerio if you can't get it to work sell it and make some money to buy a bumper that does fit.

I love round headlight on Cherokee's, So sick. I figured for the price I paid I could always make something happen.

The way i see it. when it comes to jeeps as a hole; You can make anything work from one to another. All it takes is some material and alittle imagination.

As soon as we get a break from all this snow i plan on hitting the Junkyards toget some wrangler stuff that i need. One thing is a tirerack and bumber from a wrangler and now a front bumper.

I actuall was thinking the other night about nerf bars for under the doors.
I was thinking of either cutting some tubes out of a wrangler rollbar or using another set of wrangler bumbers. I can't wait till better weather comes along.

I put a JK stock bumper on my XJ. I just bought 5" tube steel, drilled some holes, welded some sheet metal and done! Not hard at all.
