Here are some pics of it mounted on my Cherokee.
And for future knowledge not all XJ's are the same as for mounting holes. Gust ask Brink  ;D

Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?

Just to let y'all know.... the "softball/football" that is filled with air behind the bumper has something to do with CRUISE CONTROL... as mine was disconnected at Brink's, then I did not have cruise on the way home (had cruise on the way up though).

Cheers,
Trevor

PS
Thanks for the bumper, and standing behind your product, Eric!!

I relcated mine under the coolant tank. Lots of room there, you just have to cut a few zip ties to slack the vacuum lines enough.

Thanks again Brink! Bumper looks sharp. Took the fam to Pizza Hut after and the ricers in the Macs parking lot bext door were coming over to look at it!

I just plugged it with a pneumatic fitting plug (had one or 2 of these things lying around as most building control systems are pneumatics). And, yes, I have the original softball.... just in case....

why don't you ask Darkside? They would probably have more insight into it than the people that just look at the posts.....

the guys at darkside are good guys.  they will build pretty much anything you want, if you email them, tell them/show them what you want, and put a deposit down (materials)  i had my ZJ sliderz made by craig and i loved them.  i'm going to pick up my new rear bumper from him this weekend.  anytime i need something built i'll goto them........
