Default Cut and Fold Rear Bumper Suggestions

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum talk. I had major rust on the back lower quarters of my XJ. So I did the common "cut and fold" mod or in my case: "cut and weld" So now I'm looking for rear bumpers out there for

this mod, that will hold up to wheeling. I don't have time to build one.

Thanks, I'll check those sites out. I like how the sides on AJs are welded on. How are the mount points?

Why didn't you modify the gas hose cover to fit?

Not quite sure what you are asking here unless its how difficult is it to mount.


Its not difficult, although you'll definitely want a 19mm ratcheting closed end wrench. There isn't a lot of clearance on the main mounting points, and the ratcheting wrench makes it much easier.
