Default rear bumper brackets

Would anyone have any prints on beefier rear bumper brackets so I could have them cut out on my laser? If anyone does that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks guys

Im pretty sure the best/most secure way to mount it, is to make a bracket that mounts inside the uniframe

You have a laser cutter but can't draw out a simple bracket in a design software?

Whatever you end up with do use all of the Class III hitch mounting bolt's (6-8 extra bolts) more than just the bumper bolts. My HD swing out tire carrier bumper, 2 recovery points on it "D-Rings", 2" receiver hitch built-in/with safety chain hookup's.

If your XJ had the towing package it has the nut strips for the CL. III hitch, it came with my bumper and I'm going to sell it like most companies do.

I have one ready for you as a dxf file, pm your email to me and i can send you the file. Being dxf it should be able to go straight to the cut program that you all use. Basically plug and play.

You can buy them several places or I would sell you mine for $30 + shipping, they are new.

BTW they are preformed to fit exactly all the contours.
