Default My rear XJ bumper.

I started on the laptop with an elaborate tube bumper. I built it on the truck. I mocked and tacked it all up. After I was done I thought it was too much, hung too low and I just didn't like it. It took all day to make. I took the saw to it. My wife thought I was crazy.

This is what I came up with, with the parts left over. Simple and light. Sorry for the blurry pics. The waterfall camera is ready for the trash. Its all 1.75x.120 HREW. The D ring plates and mount plates are 3/8.

Looky. I got a tire to hang on it. I had to use an engine hoist to lift the wheel into place so I could measure and tack the first tube. What a pain in the ***.

I think its done except for some finish work. I was going to do some sheet metal and some dimple dies but I think I like it simple.

Cherokee (XJ) is leaf sprung rear. The Grands have different ---- transfer cases depending on the year and such. I would stick with an XJ. They can be had for next to nothing.
