Has anyone made some nice heavy duty recovery points on/through their stock bumpers?

There's even a cash pickup price, and he doesn't live very far from me.

My friend said it's a damn good deal for what it is. If I find myself being too lazy to start building bumpers, I might just get these.
I wouldnt use either of those bumpers for recovery with those brackets...

anyway I have a creepy bumper on my 99 xj, nice tie in to the frame, good price...

other companies make decent bumpers for reasonable prices...

Truth. Those Ebay bumpers are an accident waiting to happen. They need a couple hundred dollars of mods to make them useable.

The ebay link the front bumper only has 6 bolts holding it on that sounds like a really bad idea.Most aftermarket bumpers tie in far back on the front and use 8 or more bolts.Since you can weld and want a budget build there is diy kits you weld up yourself http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJ...Y-XJ-F-WN.html http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/extr...erokee-xj.html
