Hey Everyone, Here's the story on my new 2000 XJ. I drive on the highway a lot and only go off road once in a blue moon. Not much in the way of rock crawling here in Maryland and I don't need a heck of a lot of clearance so I'm staying with smaller tires and no lift (yet). This ought to give me some advantage in mileage. It will also keep the inspectors off my back. I also have a multi-mount winch given to me by dear ol' dad. I plan to get a custom rear bumper so I can mount the tire outside but I'm stuck on the front bumper.
I want tow eyelets and I need a front receiver but I also want it to mostly look stock and all the front full-width bumpers out there have winch mounts from what I can find. Does anyone make a good solid custom front bumper with eyelets and a receiver that otherwise will allow me to use all my stock running gear? I want it as strong as I can get and I'll mount the front license plate on the receiver. Am I going to have to get someone to build this for me? Who does that? If I go in that direction, I need someone who has done it before for money. I don't want to skimp on safety gear. I want as close to a sleeper orv as I can get so that when I do eventually go find some fun stuff, I'm good to go (and get back).
Thanks
