Winch bumper. Non winch bumper fits like a glove on the older XJ.

Which bumper - Front or Rear?

Those all look real nice!

Anyone got an old one to sell? XD My only hang up is I have bushwhackers, and I really don't want to cut part of them off for this to fit...anyone else run into that problem? I've got the big cut out ones, not the flat ones.

BTW right now the non winch bumper is on sale for 159

Thanks, what's that metal screen you have there? I have a factory skid plate so i wanted to know how far it goes down. How heavy is it? Looks to be 3/16" which is perfect. Sorry for all the questions, there's not too much on the non-winch bumper online.

FYI these come bare steel, and need to be cleaned really well before painting.

Nice, that just means they're built strong. Yea I plan on asking them to also weld on their brush guard they have on their other bumper and picking it up from them unfinished.

Looks nice. I think she charged me $275 + shipping for this thing. It was the third bumper I bought from them.

Next will be this one:

If it were me (or if I'd thought of it before it WAS me) I might ask about incorporating a trailer hitch mount into that non-winch front bumper. If you could get that, then the rear bumper w/ integral trailer hitch mount as well, you could just mount a winch to a portable cradle and use it on either end.
