86ComancheXNate Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Will a 97+ XJ front bumper fit on an 86? Or will I have to make some modifications to the bumper or the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbert001 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, as long as you have the 97-01 brackets, they'll bolt to the frame, but i don't think the old brackets will bolt to the newer bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbert001 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 you'll also have to trim your fenders, or switch to 97-01 fenders, as the end caps go all the way back to the wheel opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86ComancheXNate Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Cool thanks. Actually all I was originally wanting was the brackets not the bumper. A friend of mine gave them to me because he had welded some tow point brackets onto his bumper brackets for his 97 xj. but then he got an offroad bumper from jcr and didnt need them. So he gave me the brackets and the bumper just incase the brackets didnt work with my old bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbert001 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 AND you got tow points? Sounds like a plan buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
