After I installed the Powertrax No-Slip in the rear end, I started climbing in the rocks a lot more. After a few trips through the rocks, I hit my bumper a lot on both sides in front of the tires. I needed more clearance, so i trimed the sids of the bumper to 2" and then tapered the front from the bumper mounting brackets where it is 6" to the edge where it is 2". The following pictures show the modifications.
If you like this bumper, feel free to contact Brian VanHyfte. Brian is interested in making bumpers for all of you XJ owners out there! Trust me, there's no better feeling than knowing your XJ has something different than every body else's, and a custom bumper is a great place to start!
