Jeep XJ Rear Bumper | Crusader | Jeep Cherokee (84-01)

Good style, looks great. Unfortunately, I purchased this bumper with high hopes that weren't met. I purchased it without powdercoating and the welds were abysmal. They definitely were unfinished, and in some spots the panels weren't even welded together the entire length. Weld drip balls were all over. Nearly every weld had to be grinded down, and I had about 50% of it redone. I suspect I was accidentally sent it before it was complete, or before QA inspection.

This bumper is heavy duty and well built. The receiver and d-rings are welded in very nicely. I feel very confident about towing with this bumper. I highly recommend getting the nut strips and new hardware to make installation much much easier. My rig had a stock nutstrip only on the passenger side and I broke two of those bolts while removing the stock bumper. The crusader definitely dresses up the rear of my XJ nicely. My only gripe is that no matter how adjusting and fine tuning I did the bumper ALWAYS stuck out farther past the body on the passenger than it did the driver's side. I've read on forums that this same thing has happened to others. I'm hoping the lower quarter panel armor I bought addresses this issue.

A great product. The bumper is very well built, and fits the vehicle perfectly. I speak from experience when I say that this bumper looks great whether it is on the truck or buried three feet deep into the front of a Chrysler 300. What do you get when you combine two cars and a 55 mph collision? One totaled Chrysler, a bad off Cherokee, and a JCR Crusader bumper located under the floor. No worries though, that CNC cut, 3/16th thick steel was just fine, not even dented. The same could not be said for Jeeps unibody design. Nonetheless, a great product which is great for bouncing off rocks on the trails or stopping cars on the interstate.

I highly recommend this product, JCR does great work. Everything aligned perfectly, and the welds are top-notch. Ive been pulled out by the D-ring mounts and the bumper help up great. I got it shipped in bare metal and painted it myself, it turned out great.
