OR-FAB Bumper

 

[Incommando]

I like the non-prerunner version above.

 

If I were buying and MJ/XJ front bumper I would make sure that the mounts on both sides were adequate. Good ones will reinforce both sides of the front frame especially the steering box area. Other options are the www.detours.com backbone winch mount http://www.detoursusa.com/xjbackbone.php 

 

There is a guy on Pirate who makes a really neat front winch mount that puts the winch under the radiator

I would avoid any bumper that mounts pretty much just like the factory or with two little short mounting tabs with 2 or 3 bolts. 

Found his actual page. Like the Backbone this thing REALLY strengthens the front of an MJ/XJ.

I've actually wheeled with this guy. He even had to winch me out of my avatar pic. It's a solid setup.'

Recently added to my bumper, it will protect the corners much better. (When it decides to run);

You can always go this way if you like the factory bumper look...

 

Not My MJ as this is just a pic from their website...

(Error in the Pics)

 

This site won't let me upload any pics here for some reason even my own webshots pics, so you will have to go to the website and view....

Holy $#!&, Someone revived this three year old thread lol

This is what's on the front of my XJ... it was built by a friend, since I'm not a good welder.  It's not pretty, but it is simple and attached pretty well.  It was also cheap... ~$40 in steel from a used steel yard (in 1998).  Used the OEM tow hook bracketry/reinforcements to hang it. I wanted to run a Warn 8274 because it holds more cable and has a faster line speed than the low profile models... and I already had the 8274. They don't mount to bumpers the same as the low profile ones.  There weren't any aftermarket options in 1998 for that (don't know if that's changed, but you sure don't see many on XJ/MJ's).  I plan on cleaning it up and having the ends tapered and slapping it on the MJ, when I rob other goodies off the XJ.

 

 

 

To be honest, the extra overhang has caused me to dig the bumper into the trail, sometimes forcing me to choose a different line a few times, so I can certainly see the advanges of the hidden low-profile, or even shorter overhang bumpers that have been shown... but I still love my 8274. :thumbsup:
