Shout out to DND
My fellow XJ lovers. I ordered a bumper from these guys not too long ago. All I have to say is positive things. I know we don't do reviews a lot on here but I wanna talk these guys up. They don't seem to be known to well. The bumper I got from them was roughly $200, decent price in my eyes, here's the link https://dndoffroad.3dcartstores.com/...ings_p_83.html . It looks great, kinda heavy (60lbs) but its a beast. They did a little custom work on it for me, at no extra charge. And shipping for this little beauty was only $40 Once I get time to upload some pics I'll show you how it looks mounted, waiting to replace my radiator first, but once it's done I'll show you guys.
Long story short, the customer service at DND was great, the product was great and at a wonderful price. I will be ordering from the again, just out of the fact they were very nice, and make quality products!

Looks like they have some nice prices, but I didn't see any winch options for the XJ on their site. I'm a long way from doing my bumpers but still looking around to get a feel for what I might want. definitely something winch-mountable.

those things are not tied in very well.
even thier rear bumper with tire carrier only uses the stock mounting points!
Its not the bumper or bolts that will break with a good tug, its the unibody its bolted to that will get torn apart and/or crack over time.
With the weight of a spare tire on the stock mounting points in back will lead to a very flexy setup back there and will destroy the stock mounts pretty quickly. Makes me wonder if they even test thier products before selling them.

Are there some other bumpers with better frame supports? What's a better way to mount them? I plan on a rear tire carrier to hold a 35" at some point down the road...i'm a newb with bumpers and mounts!
