I would like to get one of theser for my xj..

have not been able to find them online, aside from this one:

http://www.thepartsbin.com/catalog/...4productsoly61011461840&tpbsendcid=tpbfroogle

and i'm not sure they are listing it correctly, as it shows a wrangler.

also, if you look at the pics, is one of them is mounted where the stock tow hooks would go? i would like to add recovery tow hooks.

anyone know where i can find one? jy is probably only option, but i'm sure won't be easy.

Found this in the Quadratec catalogue (one of our vendors) made by Olympic 4x4.

Not sure if they just sell the push bar, or if you have to get the bumper also, but this is as close as I've been able to find.

thanks for the link!

on your same link, i saw this: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12101_110X_PG.htm

seems like it must be used w/the aftermarket bumpers.. that sucks.

i will keep looking, or i'll see how much it is to have one made. the red jeep i posted, said he got his from smitty built a cpl years ago, but i found nothing.

A push bar needs to be bolted to something more substantial than the stock bumper and its weak mounts. A tall push bar has a lot of leverage to tweak the front bumper. You need mounts that go down the sides of the frame, like any decent after-market bumper.
With anything less, the push bar will bend back into the front grill when attempting to shove something.

i just want it for looks and to mount some lights.. using the sheet metal bumper to push anything is unrealistic.

Those arent like a police 'push bar', its more of a poseur thing.... Ive got one in the shed that i took off once i got over the 'tonka truck' jeep phase... check locally, im positive you can find one.

Those remind me of the Warn multi-mounts we still run on our Dodge trucks.
