Thanks! I paid 8500 for it. Borderline crazy for an XJ.

Thanks for the advice. Do you think it looks as big in this picture?

That bumper is big and expensive. You can get a nice slim heavy duty bumper from a smaller company for cheaper. And bumper that offers bolt on stingers or bull bars is cheesy.

Pretty slow for the next few weeks I am feeling. I ordered a different bumper than the smittybilt (Ordered a logansmetal4x4) which I am pretty pumped about. I am going to have it linex-ed. I also ordered my KC lights to mount. Also changed my tail lights! Here are some pictures of the XJ how it sits now:

Logan's metal is one of the best looking xj bumpers IMHO.
