Hey guys,

So for this winter looks to be upgrade season for me.

I am going to install an Or-Fab front bumper, rear tire carrier bumper, IRO tie rod with ends, and their adjustable track bar.

I wanted to ask you guys that while I'm installing all of these is there anything else I should look for or include? I'm looking into a rear hitch and some C4x4 tow hooks. (I literally have no recovery points the PO took'em off)

So let me know what you guys suggest. Anything to make the steering stronger or anything else stronger. Trying to make this XJ long as possible.

Thanks!

Shouldn't need tow hooks if you are getting new bumpers, they should come with d ring tabs

I have smashed my rocker panels and hit my middle frame section multiple times. I have never hit either one of my stock bumpers. I would start with rock sliders and frame stiffeners

A new steering box brace would be a good idea too. JCR Offroad, C-Rok and now IRO make upgraded ones

So using the dring shackles vs tow hooks on the brackets are the same?

I dunno I guess it always seemed to me that my bumper would come apart rather than the tow hook brackets
