Spectormj Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I know an Xj bumper will fit but has anyone thought about putting a tj bumper front or rear on their mj? I was just looking at JCR Offroad products and it crossed my mind in the back of my head I'm thinking I may have to modify it but how much and would the cost of a more modern style bumper off a tj work for our mjs? . :MJ 2: .

JeepcoMJ Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 More modification required than not. Build your own, cheaper. Especially one with a swingout...wouldn't be able to open the tailgate. The TJ is a lot narrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectormj Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm going bed mount for my spare cause i like the clean look of the comanches tailgate Jcr diy rear xj/mj bumper isalmost 300 and the tj is 1 something it got my wheels turning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Difference is one not only fits bolt on, but it is also the correct width. Spending half the money now will leave you pissed with how terrible it looks in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectormj Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 ok That answers my question about that but now i need to figure how the front and rear bolt on I'm pretty sure that my bolts are rusted and stuck tighter than a golfball up a goats backside what are my mounting options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Remove the bumper from the bumper brackets first, then spray pb blaster in the rails from the rear. Let soak for as long as possible. Then with a 16" or so ratchet/ breaker bar /extension setup, work each 15mm bolt back and forth very slowly. Always tighten rusty bolts first just a tiny bit. Each bolt could take minutes, even an hour. But taking it off without breaking is always best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
