i would say fab up your own bumper all you need is some 2x4 tube and the tube for the hitch to fab it up. and if you dont mind the drive i kno a guy around dayton that makes really nice bumpers its the guy i got my winch bumper off of and i got a great deal and its awesome

`I picked up this hitch for 50 dollars this evening. Well, it was 50 bucks and a 1.5 hour drive each way but well worth it based on what I have seen linked in this thread.
gonna wire wheel it down, paint it and install it on my xj.

I found that hitch on craigslist, just fyi. If you dont need it right away maybe see if you can find a nice used one, if nothing turns up by the time you need it you can always order a new one.

I got my Class III/IV Reese hitch, off the shelf at Pep Boys. It's a common, regularly stocked part here. I think it was like $200.
But IMHO, go with the last one...
