Default Push bar on the red jeep.

I have searched and searched for a simple push bar for my jeep xj. The one on the red jeep looks great. It's exactly what I want. Although I would have kept it black. Anyway, I googled smittybilt push bars and i found one that looks exactly like the one on the red jeep, but it says for jeep xj's up to 1996 models. Is that the one you have? Does it fit newer models? Or does it have tome modified to fit? Please help. Ive been searching now for 3 months for a simple push bar exactly like the one on your red jeep.

Replaced the muffler and tailpipe, after the tailpipe broke in half. Two hours to remove the muffler, half an hour to put it all together. Man, was I wishing for an air chisel!

Talking windshield washer problem

I removed inner wheel well & took out my original washer pumps both front & rear pumps had developed dead shorts. Replaced with new pumps from Advance for $18.63ea. I thought a little pricy even with my 20% discount. Pumps stopped workin right as a 16" snow hit here in MD. with as much salt as we use you've got to have wiper fluid.
