Default Will stock XJ bumper fit ZJ?
I've got a 1998 Jeep XJ Sport that i recently took the factory front steel bumper off of. My buddy has a 1996 Jeep ZJ and he wants my steel bumper. Would it fit or require some modification?

Yeah, it's not much more than just sheet metal that is bent into shape. If you kick it real hard, it'll bend.
