Tomken Rear Bumper on a 97+ XJ

Just looking for pics of this rear bumper on an XJ 97+ with the factory end caps.

Their website says "and utilizes factory end caps." so I was wondering if anyone had this bumper with the factory plastic end caps installed. I did a search for it and came up with almost empty with pics other then the Tomken end caps.

I need a place to mount the spare and so far this is the only bumper that seems to have the ability to mount the end caps and that looks decent.
 
I have it but no pics, will take some today before I sand the bumper and repaint the spots where the powdercoat has come off. The bumper fits in the caps and they give you two angle pieces that you mount on the bumper to give it a finished look. I have to redo mine I was in a hurry and did not do a real neat job.

Simple install once the old one is off, that took the most time, finally I just drilled holes in the old bumper to get at the bolts and slid a 4" ratchet extension thru the holes. Then it came off easy after I donated skin and blood on the first 2 bolts... The guy I gave the old bumper to was very appreciative after he went thru the same thing getting his crunched one off. Said the holes made it much easier getting the new one on... he used some rubber plugs to fill the holes.

HAHA I know. That pic was actually after a friend and I finished the lift install 2 weeks ago. I forgot what I was doing...maybe checking out where the tires were rubbing when I turned to full lock.

If that's full lock then you have a problem.
