Factory brush guard

[eacomanche88]

I have a question that I hope someone may have an answer, there is a post from shdbriding about him finding a MJ in a junkyard that has a factory brushguard. I looked in my refrence books and could not find a picture. Does anyone have a pic or know of a website I could see a picture?

 

Thanks Eric

The factory never offered an MJ or XJ brush guard. Probably a dealer installed option.

Not sure if you mean they never shipped from the factory with the guard or if Mopar never offered a guard.

 

However they were available from Mopar and were installed on new XJ's (not 100% sure about the MJ).

 

If you look threw the parts catalog's I have on GLXJ (http://www.greatlakesxj.com/tech.html) you'll see them listed.

 

I don't have a pic of the pre '97 but here is one of the factory brushguards with the foglight option for the '97+.

I only checked for the 92 and below XJs/MJs - should have clarified that. :oops:

This is the one I'm referring to. I thought it was a factory installed one.

 

 

Sorry for any confusion.

The brushguard shown in the picture is a Jeep accessory. It is shown in the back of the Comanche owner's manual. I do not know if they were installed at the factory, but the did sell them.

True - And from what I understand, they were "Dealer" install accessories.

 

There also installation instructions in the FSM for all of the "optional" accessories.

I know this is old as dirt... but figured for anyone searching they will find my pics as well... dealer or factory to me its all the same... "jeep" or whoever still made and sold them... kinda like the rock sliders you can buy today for the WK2 as you buy it off the lot... my 90 MJ had all these options... front hooks... full skids front to rear... fog lights... D44 (not a metric ton)... and only thing i know it didnt come with "offroad" wise was the roll bar... though i guess i havent pulled the whole rubber mat up since i got it to look for holes... however i would say they were all factory options that could also be bought at a dealer by the dealer or anyone for that matter... i don't see the dealers swapping in headlight harnesses to get fog lights... just doesnt make sense... same for the brush guards... i agree with that thread the OP here read on another site... they all said they were ugly... ya kinda... but the XJ's and MJ's really arnt the prettiest vehicles in general... kinda cool to have one though knowing they are hard to come by... the bottoms of my square tubing is rusted all to heck so I'm not sure if i can save mine but I'm going to try and repair/rebuild it... i have 97+ conversion now so it may look even weirder but maybe since the bottom is rotted out i can fab it onto a steel winch bumper or something... if it looks horrible ill sell it off to a renix goo roo or something... lol...

 

pics that i have for the sake of others googling!!!

Also if you look at the OEM FSJ cherokees brush guards they are near identical... id guess they are the same thing but a larger version...

Yes, they did. My '87 MJ has one on it. But I don't have any pics.

I don't think that link works anymore. It hasn't worked for me for several months... I went there to try and view one of the parts catalogs that were hosted there :( it's too bad there were some really useful things there.
