Default Xj front body repair

Our jeep was involved in a rear end accident. I'm rebuilding but having trouble finding the frame cross member that is directly under the radiator. I would prefer a new piece if they are available versus going to a yard and cutting one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

My xj is a 1996. They don't list the part for this year, will the lower tie bar from a later model year fit? Say from a 1997? I know there was a break in production but don't know how much was updated on the chassis.
