rear bumper got installed.

Front bumber plates mounted to frame.  When you slide on the bumper to bolt up to plates, it hits OE finders with about -2" that would need to be cut off.  No real way this can be screwed up.  Plates are directional side to side and right side in.  One bolts to the steering box holes. 

Fender flares are pretty wide and dont really match the truck.  Like i said we should look at it before we start hacking metal out to make them fit.

I got a set of clean stock ones coming....
I trust when you say a lot of metal..  I thought I would be able to get away with it... But I'm not running 35"s

Front bumper is a head scratcher... 
Bottom of fender is flush with header panel...  Bumper should rest right bellow..

Same bumper as the XJ...

i think i need to see whats going on...
that bumper should fit nice and snug under the fender line...
Same as this guy...

you think the mounting brackets might be wrong?
