Tie it right into where the hitch would be.

Use ALL the mounting points(18 in all, in the bumper and receiver)!

Its a rear tube bumper, its tacky to begin with.
Tube bumpers do not look good on XJ's, particularly on the rear.

The trick to making a bumper strong enough to tow or pull from is those tie in points at the frame where the hitch is mounted, and the factory bumper mounting points.
The thick tube bumpers look pretty good, infact I have some real nice ones being made as of late. However, the rounded tube bumpers that try and do this "Wrangler" looking thing don't quite make it in my estimation.
