I just finished putting on my JCR Stage 4 Front Bumper & Stage 2 rear bumper.
The rear went on with no problems and fit well. With the front bumper I opted for their Unibody Tie-in Brackets. Unfortunately they didn't fit my '97, and I had to take them to a machine shop to take about 1/8 inch off the top, then most, but not all bolt holes were usable. Cuz, on the drivers side, 3 bolts that pass through the bracket go into the steering, and the configuration of these three bolts can't be "fudged". So you get the 3 steering bolts in and hope the rest will line up - mine didn't, required more drilling. On the Passenger side, after taking about 1/8 inch off the top of the JCR plate, and drilling some of the holes in the body wider, I again got all but one bolt in. I would suggest to just make your own bolt-hole template and take it to a machine shop and have them fabricated. I would have sent the brackets back but I had them powder coated with my bumpers.
->The quality of the bumpers themselves are very good tho.
You can email us with your name and address and we'll send you a sticker. Probably were out of stickers when your order shipped and we don't hold orders back for stickers [email protected]
I've made 2 separate orders in the last 3 weeks. I sorta feel jipped that I didn't get a sticker. :-(
Very strange. We haven't heard of any issues with our brackets since we started having them CNC cut. Sorry for the problems you had.
Yep, looking at the photos you have up on your site of the brackets, the top steering bolt hole is nice and close to the edge of the bracket. My bracket went up a good 1/2 inch above that hole.
Again tho, I was very happy with both bumpers I ordered.
Hmmm....I received an email from another 97 XJ owner that had simular issues. I think we may have a "cut profile" issue with our CNC cutter. This would mean, an outide cut profile, those making the brackets slightly oversized. I'll talk with Daryl about this today and make sure it's not a continuing problem and maybe just a small slip up.
If anyone else is having a problem with our UNF plates, please contact us, so we can send out a correct set! [email protected] or 269-353-1184.
September 09 I bought JCR's steering box spacer. Install was screwed from the get go. I fought with lining up the bolts for 2 1/2 hours. I should have only measured the JCR spacer to the stock aluminum and I would have found JCR WELDED THE BOX SPACER INCORRECT!! I feel like an idiot thinking JCR would make sure the three welds would be correct. But felt like a bigger fool when I realized I stripped the gear box trying to line up the bolts. :farmer:
I'm having the same issue myself. I have sent an email to JCR just a few minutes ago ([email protected]). I just hope my fate with the steering box isn't the same as yours.
Yeah, I did not get my stickers with my shipment either. I got my bumper and tie-in brackets, though! I sure hope my brackets fit.
