This bumper is hands down the best fit and finish for any xj bumper that I have installed.
Ordering- straight forward online very simple.
Shipping- a little slow it took me 3 months to receive my bumper but this was during the COVID pandemic as well as black friday so it is to be expected.
Directions- if ya need em you shouldn't be putting a bumper on. Haha jk I did not receive directions except for the videos on the website.
Install-. Super straight forward. Very complete with everything you need for a sturdy yank point, unlike some other projectile bumpers on the market 🙄
Overall thoughts- this bumper is high and tight for the best approach angle. This also fits a 12k winch perfectly close to the body low in the bumper to pull you up and out. If you are questioning the purchase of this bumper you will not regret it!

I truly believe this is the best XJ bumper you can buy. I have used it for winching and it holds up well, no bending. It keeps an awesome approach angle for having a winch.

If you want a good quality bumper with a good quality mounting bracket, look no further!! Easy to mount, easy to follow instructions, and easy wheeling with this bumper, I got the pre runner bar and got this bumper in bare metal, I raptor lined the whole bumper myself with minimal issues.
Chandler Rhodes (Arizona) | March 23rd, 2020
This is in my opinion the best looking bumper for the jeep xj period. This bumpers finish was incredible and it was such a light but sturdy bumper. Install was a price of cake with instruction and common knowledge of the car. Money well spent.

Very well built, the most clear installation instructions of anything I have installed so far. I would give more stars if more were available

Just finished installing this bumper, it went very smooth. Especially compared to my rear bumper install "smittybilt w/ tire carrier", which took over 10 hours and lots of realigning. This JCR was extremely straight forward and practically fit my 2000 perfectly. Exactly like the instructions state, I left all the bolts finger tight and with a little help from friends it went up without any problems. Just have to get the sway bar and brackets out of the way and get all the bolts in, but just finger tight.
