Reviews for Front Bumper Builder Brackets | Jeep Cherokee XJ (1984-2001)

25 reviews

Fit well helped build a strong foundation for our bumper

Worked good. Built a custom rear bumper that I have pulled some big trucks out with. Just what I needed.

Came out good

Solid product, but as others have noted nuts in bracket do not line up with factory holes.

Well built, fast shipping. I did weld them together but, have not installed them yet. Overall I'm impressed

These brackets were great quality and a perfect fit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND over any other brand

Purchased to move a hayman reese towbar into the factory bumper to gain some departure angle, thry came as described and quickly all the way to Australia, some bolt holes didn't line up in the frame rails of the unibody but this appeared to be the jeep that had been manufactured out of tolerance and neither side matched so i put that down to the jeep and not the brackets as they were identical and accurately laser cut, this was solved with a carbide burr to clearance holes further. Very happy with the product.

Beautifully built, reasonable shipping, can’t wait to get my bumper built using these as a base!

Well made and fits my XJ perfectly with a couple of adjustments.

Worked perfectly to make a ZJ rear bumper work on my Xj trailer! Great quality!!

Great Just what I needed

Looked great and seems extremely well constructed, but quickly found out after welding nuts in that none of the nuts line up with the holes in my unibody. I then had to purchase a set of carbide bits to oval out the holes in my unibody which worked really well and I was able to bolt them up with ease. I just wish the nut holes were a quarter inch further over so they'd line up perfectly from the start. Other than that detail they look great and I can't wait to finish building the rest of my rear bumper and tire carrier off of them.

Very nice product easy to fit and weld out, only thing I would love to see changed is the holes for the bottom to be slotted instead of just being round.

Great product. Had to drill the holes in my frame a bit larger to make it bolt up. Only comes with nuts, would be nice if the bolts came with it also.

Good product. They need welded which i figured would be the case. Only issue i had was the holes dont line up with the holes in the unobody. Had to grind the holes bigger with a angle air grinder and grinding stone.

Took two months to receive but other then that I love this company

Mine came assembled and welded already which is nice. I have yet to install it so I will change my review if it doesn't fit. Dimensions weren't shown when I purchased but the u channel piece extends about 5 3/4"

Solid heavy gauge metal, only bad I can say is that it's not stated (or I overlooked it) that they aren't already assembled. Not that it's a problem, just a little more work.

Bolt holes don’t don’t line up with Jeep holes had to grind holes to match builder brackets

The brackets are well designed. Be prepared to slot out your frame holes because they don’t line up exactly. The weld in nuts appear to be standard 1/2 inch thread and do not come with bolts. The factory bolts are M12x1.5 which is easy to mistake for 1/2” thread. The other problem is they don’t go up far enough for the next bolt hole that the factory gas tank heat shield bolts on to so you will have to modify it. I would probably just build my own or by elsewhere next time.
