Default Front/Rear Bumper Questions!

Hi all, looking for a relatively cheap front winch bumper, preferably with a stinger bar and d rings! and also a receiver hitch rear bumper with d rings! And i was also wondering if its possible to mount the Rough Country Stinger Bar to the stock XJ bumper? I have removed the plastic end caps to give the tires more clearance, but im not sure if the stock bumper is strong enough for that? Any ideas? Thanks!! OH and post up some pics, links, websites, etc! Im not looking for the most expensive best of the best, a homemade bare steel that is done right will get the job done!

Wish they made that crawler bumper in a non winch setup.

Why do you want a stinger?I wouldn't run one unless i had a true hard core rock crawler.I would rather have a bumper that will protect the whole front end like http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/extr...erokee-xj.html http://www.trailready.com/bumpers/jeep_cherokee.html

Check out TnT Customs' Rock Runner: http://www.tntcustoms.com/Jeep/Chero..._Bumperxj.aspx

It's not cheap though and it's bare metal (requires paint/coating). But it's one of the better stinger bumpers out there IMHO.

I wish Patrick could expand his line a little more also but what he does build the quality and engineering on the swing out carrier can not be beat for the price shipped by anyone. He even includes the nut strip in case your XJ didn't come with them installed, most others charge at least $40 up for them. Once its installed you will see why it should never sag.

He also is the easiest to contact about what ever you need about ordering to customer support. Along with being a really nice guy, I have bought some builder parts from him also D-Ring tabs among that I added to my front bumper.

I need to get a better close up photo of the bumper this one my Hi-Lift Jack or Antenna weren't even mounted yet both mounts are built into the bumper N/C.

I checked all those sites and none are as HD as Roxolid or look to be as well made his welds are almost perfect. The icing on the cake his are all Powder Coated and shipping is included in all his prices.

It takes forever to get one though. Took 6+ months for mine to finally show up.
If I could do it again, I would have gone with JCR or Smittybilt. I'm definitely going with one of those two for the rear of mine.

We don't offer a stinger, but we do have a lot of options! Our lead time is around 10-12 business days. But we offer free shipping on all orders over $100!

I weld so the JCR DIY bumpers will find there way on my jeep. I really want the winch bumper.
What I cant wrap my head around is the plates to add to the front frame or steering box braces which direction to flop.
The biggest tire I plan on running is a 33x 10.50.
