It may be a custom made one. Not too hard to make. Id like to know also, if it is one that a company sells.

What about this bumper? or any bumper like it that has wraps around to the wheel opening?

 

[Lincoln]

I'm not aware of any manufactures that have bumpers like that because it requires cutting the quarter panels off. That is a bad idea on a non cages XJ. After cutting the sides have a tendency to start buckling becuase of the lost structure in those corners.

I disagree, it really depends on how you do it. If the cut material is reshaped (folded) and re attached (rivited) and sealed, it should make up for any lost structure.

Eh, I've done it numerous times and have yet to have a structural problem.

Maybe the people I know are just unlucky. They all had the body side start to buckle and get wavy right around the 4x4 emblem. 5 or 6 of the local guys.

I know why JnJ's didn't, he doesn't ever get them out of the garage.

Thats Led's old rig and its a homebrew bumper.We made one like it for my rig as well.The only difference is his bumper is tucked in to the body more.

FWIW there is a big difference between cutting it off and wrapping it back up into the structure for welding.

Yup...there's a right way and a wrong way

IIRC, you can order a RigidCo with the sides like that.

I cut and rewelded my lower quarter panels and made this bumper to fit:

So here is how I cut mine. I left the back piece as you can see in my pic and just cut away the cosmetic metal. I will TRIM the back away for my wrap around bumper. The only structural metal is the back plate. The rest is secondary structure, which means it only keeps the rain out.

I just hope it don't taco now Image what would happen if I take off my doors now:explosion

 

[Zice]

Or you could gove over the sheet metal.
