I am starting on repairing my rear bumper and changing the lift gate tomorrow, since a mid size load truck hit me at the lights with 30 mph. Well I love my XJ, I think many other vehicle would be totaled there..

Good question, it's a no name brand & I have no idea who makes it. I got it from a buddy's, buddy's buddy.

Replaced my header, bumper and headlights today with parts from my JY find..

I think the PO had hit a guard rail or something that left him high and dry so far I found damage to the front and a nice dent under the rocker, the frame at the bumper bracket is tweaked as well.

1 bolt on the passenger's side and 2 on the driver broke. Cut those out. Then this bracket gave me hell

So I gave it hell back.

I gotta notch out the spot the nutstrips go in because the ones that broke are to big to fit through the opening.
