Make sure people use the outer bumper tabs as well. On my old XJ I pulled the heads of the bolts THRU the unibody!

It would be also good if you would find a way to sleeve the holes that the 3 steering bolts goes through from side to side of the unibody... and weld the sleeve on both reinforcement plates.... there is a 4/3" to 1" hole that goes through the unibody a bit closer to the shock. You could put a rod through that also and weld it on both reinforcement plates also.  Roseweld the crap out of both plates and box it in with a little plate on the underside on the unibody...

I have the JKS version of of that... that's what they do and it's it solid as a bastard.

This is a great mod for an XJ... the unibody is prone to crack where the steering ... Nice Job!! ;D
