Last bumper plate piece mocked in. Cherokee liftgate holes and cracks fixed.

Fabbed pieces to plate the bottom of the bumper, attach it to the original rear leaf spring hangers, and sandwitch in a 2" receiver. Donor steel pieces are 2 semi spring mounts, a 6x6 spare tire mount, and a Cherokee receiver. The plate and brackets are 1/4".

 

[Jeep_Rat]

Installed all the bumper pieces.

Swapped the Comanche parts onto the donor Cherokee door.
