I think the TJ flares on an XJ look tacky but needless to say, I bet its a beast.

Sweet XJ! You have any more pics of that front bumper? And out of curiosity, why go with an LP D60 in the back if you had a HP up front? Wouldnt you lose ground clearance?

Strength, a standard rotation {LP}for rear application is stronger and reverse rotation {HP}for the front is stonger

The front bumper is a PROTOFAB4x4 winch bumper.........the best built bumper out there for an XJ.

Not there to be pretty but meet AZ highway requirements. See I build them to be friendly down the highway at 80 with the cruise and AC on.........no trailer queens allowed!
