Mine is mounted on the hidden winch style ones like this. So would this one not work on my standard (no hook) front? I can't remember what it looks like under the bumper since reassembly.

I can assure you that the brackets are much easier to find than the brush guards though.
mjben Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 The Cherokee this one came off of didn't have the tow hook brackets. Just the bumperettes to space it out.

Not sure what you mean by that. Regardless the bottom tab on the OE Mopar brush guards I have had mounts to the spot on the bumper brackets I circled in the picture. Not sure where you'd bolt the bottom mount to without a bracket with that extension.
mjben Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Bumperettes - that's what I've always called them - the black rectangular plastic extensions on the face of the bumper. This guard was originally mounted using them to space it out, away from the grille allowing the forward most hole to line up with the bumper itself. I totally follow what you're saying, and no doubt, it'd be stronger that way, but that style bracket doesn't seem to be completely necessary.

pago cruiser Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Resurrecting another old thread... Have been looking for a Brush Guard for a bit; found one that might be useful for someone... (8) Marketplace - Steel bumper for Jeep Cherokee XJ | Facebook OK Facebook. Listed 20 weeks ago. Don't know why it hasn't sold... If you have a 3" lift but really only want 2", this might do it.
