Default Will a JK bumper fit on my XJ?

Sorry, I'm new and I think I saw a thread of a guy who installed one and had steps but I can't find it. Just wondering if the stock bumper off my fathers JK would fit my XJ after trimming it down and of course making an insane mount.

Thanks
Schutte

Can't link you, but it does with some modification. Dunno if it was the same guy, but saw it recently as well. Doesn't look half bad surprisingly.

Been trying to find his post for a while.
He didn't have the fog lights in but I would.
Just trying to see his mount.

I can't remember where I saw it I was pretty drunk at the time lol
I'd bookmarked it, but my OS corrupted the other night and I lost it.

Looks surprisingly stock, but I really don't see the point. Why go through the effort to add more plastic?

IMO, XJ bumper probably tougher than a JK one...

Just looking for something different. Was either building custom with stinger or jk with working fogs.
