Default Will this bumper fit??

I've tried to search myself before posting with no luck. The attached bumper came off an 89 Comanche. It bolts to the frame. I can get it for cheap and was going to spray it with bedliner and put on my 99 Cherokee if it fits. Thanks for the help!

If its a front bumper it should but that think looks home made and the tie in plates are not wide enough to me or have enough bolt holes.And it has no shackle mounts is why it has tow hooks and with those tie ins not right to me i would be scared to use it as a pulling point because it might pull off the jeep.

The brackets are welded from the factory tie-ins for the hooks. I trust the tie in brackets for the hooks but question the work to get the bumper welded to them. I know from experience the factory tie ins are welded to the factory bumper plates and come as one unit unlike aftermarket hooks.

Yea I'm probably going to wait. I was just trying to go the cheap route. It's just a trail rig and I'll have a baby boy here in about a month but I'll wait to find something better.

If you want to be scared google s10 forum hackjob.Theres a lot of pictures that look like someone tried to learn how to weld by back halfing a mini truck and did some really ugly janky stuff.
