Not to start anything, but your bumper itself is still only bolted on with three bolts per side. Granted, they are bolted to frame plates, but I don't see why a bumper couldn't be bolted to tow hook brackets and be fine. That would be as strong as, if not stronger than, a front receiver-mounted winch setup.Haleyes said::scared:
No!
The XJ requires the use of unibody tie-ins. These tie-ins extend back past the 3 stock bolts by including the steering box bolts and include a couple more. They are usually 1/4" plate. You need these on both sides. Using the 6 factory (3 per side) will likey rip out with a stout pull.
