Default Looking for a NO WINCH front bumper

I have a '97 XJ that has stock suspension and I have no intention of lifting it or adding a winch. I would like to find a front bumper that has recovery tabs and fits up snug. Here's a pic of what I'm looking for, but have been unable to locate in my search (s). Any help or link to the one pictured would be appreciated.

Or if you can weld, you can save about $300 and get this kit from JCR:

Or there's this, which you can customize to your liking:

So far I'm interested in this one from AJ's: www.ajsoffroadarmor.com/images/D/nwfb9.jpg but the shipping I haven't come to terms with yet.

Otherwise I'm leaning towards the one from JCROffroad https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/DIY-XJ-F.html I have a friend who can weld and I'll have to check with him when he gets down around the end of the month.

Thanks for the input and I'll look at any others as well.

Tom

I can vouch for JCF offroad quality. I welded up a front and rear bumper for my XJ .... good quality 3/16" steel, everything fit up perfect for welding.

Tom,
where are you located?

Pretty sure the one I have now is the JCR. It will be coming off in favor of a winch type though. The new one is welded up, just gotta swap it out.
