I am sure some of yall already know about this product but wanted to pass it along as it opens up the bumper choices for us XJ owners.
Ares Fabrication offers brackets that have a C at the front end to accept TJ (and maybe CJ bumpers). They do state they are to only be used with their bumpers as they can not guarantee they will fit any others, however unless their TJ bumpers have holes specific to the XJ mount I don't see why any other bumper meant to bolt to the stock TJ frame wouldn't work.
The bracket is also long enough and uses the steering box bolts.
Not bad for $100...
