Default Installed RR XHD front
I bought a nice used bumper, and here it is. I gave it a coat of rust inhibiting primer, and two coats or so of rustoleum bedliner. Two places I messed up: 1) the bedliner looks a drippy in places, 2) I over tightened the end plates so they dimpled. Guess I'll just get that pre-runner. heh. Hell of a lot better than stock. I even found a sweet new "trail" while testing it out.

Looks great - I have the same exact bumper (including the missing winch!). Nice Jeep!

Biggest issue I had installing mine was removing the front bumper. The RR XHD went on pretty easy.

I like that bumper. I also like the tube end caps, though. It's on my wish list!

Welcome to the club x2! I made my non winch bumper a winch one and it has taken quite a few good hits on the trail and still holding up great! You will like your bumper alot.
