I have thought about it, but I haven't had the time to come up with any solid plans yet.

I have one of the non-winch plate backbones that I may build a bumper off of some day. Its just sitting in my storage shed now since i bought a winch bumper.

wouldnt it be way cheaper just to do the whole thing from scratch? if your gonna spend the money for a backbone just to build up on it, spend some extra money and get a AJs or JCR bumper.

I already have the backbone, I need something quick and cheap when I got it. So thats why I want to work off it.

I read a thread on a dude who got a warrior front bumper to work with the detour's backbone but I haven't seen anyone do any custom work with the backbone. I run the backbone with the stock bumper.....but that doesn't help ya with anything. 
I like the winch holder. It also functions as a paper towel holder for those messy oil changes:

I have this bumper made by Detours, from the backbone system.
That's from their website.

The Backbone is a nice piece specifically engineered for the XJ by a guy who knows XJ's. Mine included all the appropriate hardware and everything. Fit and finish are excellent.
I would definately buy a Backbone and build off of it.

You'll have to call Mark to have one built. Use the phone number on the website.
I don't remember exactly, but I think it was in the $560 range shipped to me.
